—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!

By day, I’m a Special Ed teacher. By night, I’m an artist creating cozy, hand-drawn illustrations that bring charm and whimsy to everyday life. My art is inspired by the beauty of everyday life-celebrating organic shapes, inviting spaces, and simple objects.

Whether you’re decorating your home, designing a cozy classroom, or running a creative business, my work is designed to bring a cozy, minimalist aesthetic and add joy and simplicity to your projects.

💡 On the Blog, I chronicle my creative journey to personal and financial freedom as a single mom, artist, and teacher—trusting God, building a business, and designing a simple life.

I blog about creative and frugal lifestyle solutions for teacher moms—especially single moms—who want to simplify, save, and create more freedom in their life. Follow along as I share creative solutions to simplify life, save money, earn extra income, and find your joy, again.

My Mission?
To build a life of freedom through my creativity and to show others that you can redesign your life, home, and classroom—on any budget.

So, grab your art supplies (or a cup of tea!), and let’s create a life of freedom—one creative step at a time.
