—also known as Miss K to my students.

Welcome to my little home on the internet, where I share my (sometimes messy) journey to personal and financial freedom with my creativity.

As a Special Ed teacher-by-day and an artist-by-night, I create modern, hand-drawn, pen and ink illustrations for educators in Austin, TX. My illustrations are simple, perfectly-imperfectly, black and white drawings of everyday objects, which are ideal for adding charm to teacher created printables, home or clasroom decor, creative art projects, and social media assets.

On the blog and my Youtube, I talk honestly about how I live creatively beyond the classroom and share my own creative and sustainable tips for making and saving money, time, and energy, both inside and outside the classroom.

You’ll find:
Creative Living & Teaching through simple and sustainable DIY projects and cozy thrifted decor
Creative Growth with simple routines, habits, and mindset shifts
Creative Entrepreneurship with practical ways teachers and creatives can make extra income

Life doesn’t always hand us what we planned, but my superpower is seeing the potential in every challenge, forgotten item, or blank page and helping you do the same. My goal is to inspire you to solve everyday problems creatively, by making the most of what you already have. You don’t need a big budget to create a beautiful life.

So grab your art supplies (and a cup of tea) and let’s create freedom together, one cozy, creative project at a time!
