...the artist and designer on the other side of the screen! I run this show from my cozy little home office in Lexington, Kentucky, and I consider it a privilege to welcome you to my creative space.

When you’re here, you can expect to feel encouraged, confident, and inspired to dig into your creative side. My favorite way to share what I know is through my growing library of online courses, covering everything from lettering to Procreate to oven-bake clay earrings! In between classes, there are plenty of easy tutorials and fun content to be found on my blog.

Hey there!

In 2013, I started a blog called Kiley in Kentucky.

This humble blog about life in Kentucky soon turned into a place to share my love of crafting and easy DIY projects. When a move to New York City took Kiley out of Kentucky in 2014, that didn't stop me.

From the desk of my receptionist job at a top-tier ad agency, I taught myself how to brush letter.

And Kiley in Kentucky turned into a blog about lettering and art and all the things I was teaching myself how to do.

in 2016, desperate to go full-time with my art, I launched an etsy shop.

And moved to Southern Illinois with my husband, where he started graduate school, and I launched my print shop. By the end of 2016, it was clear that selling products and creating logos was not my passion. So, with nothing left to lose, as a last-ditch effort to keep my failing business afloat, I launched my first online class - Love How You Letter.

Well, not quite.

I shut that Etsy Shop down, and kept creating classes. In 2018, my first book, Super Simple Hand-Lettering was published (and has since sold over 100,000 copies), I joined Skillshare as a Top Teacher, and I shifted my creative focus to surface pattern design.

and the rest is history!

today, kiley lives in kentucky.

I teach on Skillshare, produce privately hosted classes, design fabric and wallpaper and blog about easy DIY projects and home decorating and I promise, I do not refer to myself in third person in conversation!

things were about to get interesting.

So, where does that leave
me and you?
