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.
