Kimberly is the Creative Director of K-Rae Designs, a digital illustration and stationery company located on Yuggera Country in Brisbane, Queensland. She is a proud Bundjalung and South Sea Islander mother of two children. Kimberly grew up on Larrakia Country in Darwin and then moved to Brisbane as soon as she finished high school.

Kimberly has been a full-time artist and business owner since 2017. She experimented with watercolours and paint in the beginning, but then she purchased an iPad and fell in love with digital art. Her artworks range from cartoon-style characters to pop culture icons to fantasy mixed with realism landscape illustrations. Her love for bold black outlines and the use of bright colours are always evident in her works. She aims to connect audiences of all ages through icons and illustrations inspired by popular culture.

"To be completely honest, I grew up not knowing or being exposed to my culture. It has only been in the last couple of years that I have been learning more about my family tree, connection to Country and what this means to me. Being on Country is a magical thing, words don't actually explain it. Visiting Country and its surrounds is very grounding and I'm excited for what the future holds for me as I learn more about my culture.

As soon as I had my first child back in 2015, I knew that I didn't want to return to the 9-5 grind and I wanted to be able to stay at home with my children to watch them grow. So I delved back into my creative roots and have created this beautiful life I live now as a full time artist. I absolutely love seeing people enjoy my art. It makes my heart so happy to see people send my greetings cards, display my art on their walls and use my creative journal. I want a piece of K-Rae in everyone’s homes!"
