MORE ABOUT KIMBERLY

Born a Jersey girl, in the USA, and after many years in New York City, Los Angeles, and Spokane, Kimberly relocated to Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand in 2022.

You’ll most likely find her binging design shows, painting or gluing or stitching, neck-deep in research, writing, reading, stretching, making another mocha, or talking to her cat, Bean.
