Design, branding, and illustration services based in the Tetons

Formerly Do Something Kreative

design inspired by nature, made for humans.

Every brand is unique and deserves one-of-a-kind, compelling design to tell their story.

That’s why I started Kia Creative—to help small businesses, startups, and nonprofits bring their vision to life through personal, visual storytelling.

  • Start on the right foot or refresh your branding with a visual identity that wows and resonates with your core values and audiences. I offer several different branding packages depending on your goals and budget.

  • Sometimes the best way to tell your story is through visual elements. I love nothing more than dreaming up custom illustrations with clients. Add a personal touch with illustrated elements that are truly unique and celebrate your brand.

  • I started my career in editorial design and still believe there is a place in the world for well-designed print pieces. Whether you are a looking for an annual report, poster, or invitation, let me help you create clean, innovative designs that help you stand out in a crowd and inspire action.

  • When not at my computer, I love creating custom watercolor art. I specialize in landscapes and accept a limited number of commissions each year.

hi, i’m kia.

Pronounced “Kaya" like the Bob Marley song, not like the car company.

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator based in Teton Valley, Idaho.

My design aesthetic is inspired by the incredible outdoor spaces I get to call home—organic, purposeful, and connected to the greater ecosystem.

I love to partner with humans and organizations who are on a mission to make the world a more beautiful place.
