Hi I’m Kim,

I’ve got a soft spot for a good Central Otago Pinot Noir, style that speaks louder than fashion, and those moments of peace that make life a little sweeter.

I help fabulous hosts like you take your events to the next level
with live, luxe illustrations that capture the vibe and moments in real time.

Think of me as your secret ingredient for adding that extra wow factor—so your guests walk away with one-of-a-kind keepsakes and a lasting impression of your event.

IT'S AN EXPERIENCE

And I’ve got it down to an art (literally)

From crayons to a
First-Class Honours Degree in Visual Communications

Fun fact: I was once a broke uni student funding my wardrobe (and cheap wine) through a portrait side hustle. While keeping me quenched, it did hone my art of capturing people with care and connection.

I’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t) over a decade of freelancing.

Designing stationery for my luxury brand, Smitten With Love, has taught me how to balance premium design with personal storytelling.

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 will leave with a keepsake that NO ONE else can replicate.

Trust me—it’ll *hit the sweet spot* every time.

Do live illustrations create take-home memories for your guests? 100%

Keep people engaged and excited? Uh huh.

Turn your event into an experience, not just a party? Absolutely.

Offer something fresh and totally unique? Nailed it.

Leave a lasting impression that has people talking long after?

Every.

Single.

Time.

Let's Sketch it out

Since we’re basically besties...

01

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.
02

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'!
03

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.
04

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.
05

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 Events, it’s a personal, direct 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 unique, personalised artwork your guests will cherish long after the party.

Honestly, you deserve nothing but the best—and I’m here to deliver just that.

Give your event the vip treatment
