artist, educator, all things DIY & dog mom :)
hiii, I'm Shelly Kim
Iโm a self-taught artist based in Los Angeles, CA ๐ซ I love sharing everything I know about lettering and arts & crafts ๐จ What started as a simple hobby to find happiness again has turned into a full-time business, opening doors I never imagined ๐ฅน I had no idea where this journey would lead, but Iโm so grateful for everything Iโve learned along the way ๐!!
From working with dream brands like being featured in the Michaels Holiday Commercial in 2021 ๐, creating digital stickers for the Notability app ๐๏ธ, to speaking at Adobe MAX ๐, and teaching over 5K students through in-person workshops + conferences ๐ค, Iโm constantly amazed by whatโs possible โบ๏ธ
Itโs all because I took a chance on myself & now Iโm passionate about sharing my love for lettering and DIY with you! ๐ค If I can create the things I once wish existed, so can you! ๐คฉ Letโs create something magical together! ๐ฅฐโจ
never in a million years...
Did I ever think I would have the chance to create art on a daily basis, meet some amazing new friends along the way, and pursue this passion full-time ๐ฅน๐๐ฅฐ
Discovering my love for lettering and creating art has changed my entire perspective on life ๐ Lettering to me goes way beyond exploring my creativity ๐๏ธ For me, it creates an open, positive, and free outlet that I would love for others to join in on with me ๐คโจ
also! meet my dog, Max ๐ถ
we adopted him back in July 2019 and have so much love for him :)๐
