—also known as Miss K to my students.

I’m just a homeschooling (single) mom-turned-teacher, unintentional minimalist, and multi-passionate creative based in Austin, TX.

Welcome to my little home on the internet!

As a Special Ed teacher-by-day and an artist-by-night, I create cozy, hand-drawn illustrations that are designed to simplify your projects and bring a cozy, minimalist aesthetic to everything you create. My art is inspired by the beauty of everyday life-celebrating organic shapes, inviting spaces, and simple objects. My illustrations will bring charm and whimsy to all of your creative projects.

🎨 As a cozy minimalist educator, illustrator, and redesign consultant, I help overwhelmed teachers and moms bring calm and creativity to their lives, classrooms, and businesses. Whether you’re decorating your home, creating a sensory-friendly classroom, building a creative business, or designing educational resources, my hand-drawn illustrations and minimalist design tools simplify the process, without overwhelming your budget or your brain.

💡 On the blog, I share creative and frugal ideas to help you simplify, make and save money, and create more freedom both inside and outside the classroom. From cozy design tips and creative curriculum ideas to personal growth and teacher income strategies, this is a space to find your joy, as a teacher, again.

💡My Mission?
To build a life of freedom through my creativity and to show other teacher moms-especially single moms- that you can redesign your life, classroom, and income—one creative step at a time.

So, grab your art supplies (or a cup of tea!), and let’s create a life of freedom together!
