—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 Education teacher-by-day and an artist- by-night, I create cozy, hand-drawn black & white illustrations for TPT sellers, homeschool brands, and creative small businesses.

My work is perfectly imperfect. Simple, pattern-rich black and white drawings of everyday objects designed to add character and charm to teacher-created products, printables, creative projects, branding, and social media content.

While my illustration services support teachers, teacher sellers, and small brands, on the blog and my Youtube, I talk honestly about how I live creatively beyond the classroom. I love sharing my own creative and sustainable tips for making and saving money, time, and energy, as a teacher mom and artist.

You’ll find:
Creative Living & Teaching: Frugal and sustainable tips to make and save money at home and in the classroom with simple DIY projects, thrifting, and cozy decor
Teacher Mindset & Productivity: Simple routines, habits, and mindset shifts to save time and energy to make space for personal freedom
Creative Entrepreneurship: Behind-the-scenes of my art business, teacher side gigs, and creative ways to make more money and create financial freedom

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

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