Hi, I’m Kim—the illustrator who sees fashion as a feeling, colour as a conversation, and people-watching as a meditation (preferably with a goood Central Otago Pinot in hand)
But what realllly gets me going?
Helping fabulous hosts like you swap "nice party" nods for moments that guests can’t wait to frame, share, and keep.
Because the best events aren’t just about good food and great company—they’re about the little details that make people *feel* something.
And trust me—this hits the ~ sweet spot ~.
IT'S AN EXPERIENCE
And I’ve got it down to an art (literally)
Crayons.
Champagne Taste.
First-Class Honours.
Sketching my way to a closet (and career) I love
While at uni, I juggled a sketchbook, a cask wine budget, and a wardrobe I poured every spare dollar (and a few questionable life choices) into.
I sketched. (A LOT.) Evenings spent capturing paid portraits taught me how to bring life to paper.
Founding luxury stationery brand Smitten With Love taught me the power of first impressions—how exquisite design, thoughtful details, and swoon-worthy packaging create a story before a guest even lifts the lid.
Freelancing illustration and graphic design? (Cue late nights and TV marathons.) That taught me to keep creativity alive under pressure and finesse a vision to the finish.
Now, I bring that messy, magical journey to your event—style, soul, and sketching unforgettable moments, one marker stroke at a time.
Does it create take-home memories? 100%
Keep people engaged and excited? Absolutely.
Turn your event into an experience, not just a party? Without a doubt.
Offer something fresh and totally unique? Nailed it.
Leave a lasting impression that has people talking long after?
Every.
Single.
Time.
Since we’re basically besties...

If I had to choose one crayon, It’d be pink, hands down! It’s that colour that’s effortlessly fun and fabulous. Bold, bright, and feminine—it makes a statement while still looking oh-so-lovely.

Weird food combos? Okay, I confess—I’m not exactly the most daring foodie. But pineapple on pizza? Oh yes! It just works. I know it’s not the most elegant choice, but hey, sometimes delicious wins over 'taste'!

It all starts with great underwear, right? It’s like your secret power move—no one sees it, but it gives you the perfect foundation of comfort and confidence. Since becoming a Mum, I’ve been loving Australian brand Nala.

You’d think a walk through Wellington’s gardens would have me swooning over the flowers? Nope—a simple shadow stole the show. A friend (Hi Ken 👋) pointed out all the hidden colours, and my whole view of the world shifted. Now, I catch glimpses of beauty in the most unexpected places.

My style? My farmer husband once asked why I dress like a rainbow 😂. I love colour, texture, and dopamine dressing, but always curated. On mum days, it’s Merry People pink gumboots, a cozy knit, and leggings. But don’t worry—I scrub up just fine for special occasions!
You’re still here?
