Hi I’m Kim,
I’ve got a soft spot for a gooOod Central Otago Pinot Noir, style that speaks louder than fashion, and those rare, quiet moments that make life a little ~sweeter~.
But what realllly gets me going? Helping fabulous hosts like you turn events into unforgettable experiences.
With live, luxe illustrations, I capture the vibe, the energy, and the moment—in real time.
Because the best events aren’t just about good food and great company
—they’re about the details that make people feel something.
And trust me—this hits the *sweet spot*.
IT'S AN EXPERIENCE
And I’ve got it down to an art (literally)
From crayons to a
First-Class Honours
Degree in Design
Let’s rewiiiiind.
Back in my uni days, I had expensive taste and a cheap wine budget. So, I started sketching portraits on the side—part hustle, part obsession, and fully funding my wardrobe (priorities, right?).
Little did I know, those late-night commissions weren’t just keeping me stylish—they were honing my craft, teaching me how to capture people with care, connection, and an eye for detail.
Fast forward a decade—after designing luxury stationery for Smitten With Love and years of freelancing—I’ve perfected the art of turning moments into keepsakes.
Now? I bring live fashion illustration to high-end events, making every guest feel seen, celebrated, and effortlessly stylish—on paper and in real life.
Live Illustration is a Rare Gem in New Zealand.
And my bold, vibrant style captures your event in a way that’s fresh, fun, and unforgettable.
Your guests won’t just leave entertained—they’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn memento that NO ONE else can replicate.
Does it create take-home memories? 100%
Keep people engaged and excited? Absolutely.
Turn your event into an experience, not just a party? Without a doubt.
Offer something fresh and totally unique? Nailed it.
Leave a lasting impression that has people talking long after?
Every.
Single.
Time.
Since we’re basically besties...

If I had to choose one crayon, It’d be pink, hands down! It’s that colour that’s effortlessly fun and fabulous. Bold, bright, and feminine—it makes a statement while still looking oh-so-lovely.

Weird food combos? Okay, I confess—I’m not exactly the most daring foodie. But pineapple on pizza? Oh yes! It just works. I know it’s not the most elegant choice, but hey, sometimes delicious wins over 'taste'!

It all starts with great underwear, right? It’s like your secret power move—no one sees it, but it gives you the perfect foundation of comfort and confidence. Since becoming a Mum, I’ve been loving Australian brand Nala.

You’d think a walk through Wellington’s gardens would have me swooning over the flowers? Nope—a simple shadow stole the show. A friend (Hi Ken 👋) pointed out all the hidden colours, and my whole view of the world shifted. Now, I catch glimpses of beauty in the most unexpected places.

My style? My farmer husband once asked why I dress like a rainbow 😂. I love colour, texture, and dopamine dressing, but always curated. On mum days, it’s Merry People pink gumboots, a cozy knit, and leggings. But don’t worry—I scrub up just fine for special occasions!
You’re still here?
I love that.
It means you’re all about creativity and connection.
When you work with DRAWN, it’s a personal, bespoke experience—no middlemen, just me, your dedicated illustrator. From start to finish, you’re in the loop
Forget photo booths and their cheesy props—this is about custom, high-end artwork that your guests will actually cherish.
Honestly? You deserve nothing but the best—and I’m here to deliver just that.
