Designer & Founder of k.Michael studio
Meet Kristen
A mom of two, with an eye for creative style that she harnesses for good, to lift up others. Kristen is a California native, bringing good vibes alongside her work, with nature as her muse in both life & design. With over ten years experience running her small business, K.Michael Jewelry, a Mental Health Coach, prior Educator & tech Recruiter...her winding career path has been a constant reminder that life happens in the twists, turns & loops. A nod to the squiggle line you'll find throughout her K.Michael Studio branding.
This business sprouted organically from her gravitation to all things CREATIVITY, CONNECTING with amazing people, & the desire to ELEVATE these amazing businesses doing good in our wild world. She saw a need for intentional, values-driven brand design in her network of coaches, who did not have the time or bandwidth to focus on their brand identity. From there, K. Michael Studio was born to lift their message & business through visual design.
Kristen believes that by supporting & serving people/brands we believe in, by leading with kindness, & taking small (but mighty) actions - we have the power to positively shift the dynamics of our world. She’s here to support you in building your dream business & have some fun along the way.
