ABOUT

My name is Kimberly Blundell and I am a creative from Boston, MA.

For as long as I can remember, I have always gravitated towards expressing myself through art and creativity. A lot of my childhood was spent developing skills within fine art -- including painting, illustration, and fiber work. Later on, attending college for the arts opened my eyes to endless career possibilities and I became passionate about fashion and design.

My interests and experiences with fashion expand much wider than just apparel. Fashion is one of the most compelling art forms because its possibilities are endless. Currently working as a Color Designer for the Converse women's brand, I am always welcoming new creative design opportunities.
