K.MICHAEL STUDIO
making purpose-driven businesses look as good as their intentions.
because good work deserves great branding.
welcome,
so glad you’re here.
meet the designer + FounderWelcome to a values-driven creative studio where psychology meets design strategy, tailored to help established service businesses align their brand with their bold vision.
Meet Kristen, a multi-hyphenate professional who spent 10+ years building K.Michael Jewelry while teaching, discovering what most designers miss: successful rebranding isn't just about looking good. It's about getting crystal clear on who you're becoming and having the courage to show up as that version of your business.
With a Master's in Educational Psychology, Google recruiting experience, and professional coaching (700+ hours), Kristen blends creative problem-solving and visual storytelling to craft experiences that spark emotion and create meaningful change.
Here's what makes her different: Before any design work begins, Kristen coaches you through the foundational questions most designers skip. Her collaborative approach ensures every design is crafted with care, trust, and strategic impact. And then make it look as good as your impact!
For established businesses ($100K+ revenue) experiencing growing pains, this is how you build a brand as bold as your vision.
Ready to align your brand with who you're becoming? Let's talk.
Sound familiar?
Your business has evolved, but your brand hasn't kept pace. You're in that sweet spot- business is thriving, revenue is strong, but something feels off. Your original DIY brand worked perfectly when you were starting out, but now it feels... small. Like you've outgrown it, and it's holding you back from bigger opportunities.
You find yourself making excuses for website and marketing materials that don't reflect the caliber of work you deliver. Meanwhile, you're spending precious hours wrestling with Canva instead of serving clients- time that could be better spent growing your business.
You know your work is sophisticated and impactful. Now it's time for a brand that shows it.
