MEET YOUR DESIGNER
Meet the romantic rebel behind the designs.
Rock concerts, fast cars, fresh nails, and a very soft spot for a good love story. I’m Kimmy, the alternative brand designer behind KTD, and I look a whole lot like the brands I create: a little unexpected, impossible to put in one box, and always down to make things more interesting.
YOUR DESIGNER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
Making cool shit was always kind of inevitable.
Honestly, I was never going to make boring things for a living.
The things that inspire my work are the same things I’m drawn to when I close my laptop. You’ll find me at car shows and rock concerts, obsessing over street style, or probably dancing somewhere in the middle of it all. I even used to be in a hip-hop dance crew.
So when you see that energy show up in my work? It’s not a persona I switch on when it’s time to design. I actually live this life.
Now, I get to spend my days taking the ideas floating around someone else’s head and turning them into something they can actually see, touch, and show off.
My style has always been expressive, energetic, and unexpected. Becoming an alternative brand designer just gave me somewhere to put all of it.

DON’T LET THE VILLAIN VIBES FOOL YOU
plot twist
I’m actually a giant softie.
Yes, I know I can come off as intimidating. Trust me, I’ve heard it a million times.
But here’s the thing you need to know about me: I may give major villain era on the outside, but I’m a soft romantic at heart.
I love a meet-cute. Hearing about dating drama. How you met your partner. How they proposed. Give me the tea. I want all of it.
I’m also the person who can spend hours talking about whatever cop, firefighter, or medical drama I’m currently watching. I’ve basically seen them all, and once I’m invested in the characters? I’m obsessed!
Basically, underneath the leather jacket is someone who loves a good story and genuinely cares about you.
And that’s exactly how I work, too. I’ll push your ideas somewhere exciting, hype you up behind the scenes, and make sure you feel supported enough to enjoy where the process takes us.

CREATIVE INTUITION
I have a thing for seeing what isn’t there yet.
Sometimes I know where an idea wants to go before you’ve even finished explaining it.
I’ve learned to trust that instinct. It’s why I’ll show you the unexpected option, push an idea a little further, or encourage you to try the direction you never would’ve picked for yourself. Alternative branding should feel a little unexpected, after all.
You hired me for my creative eye. I’m going to use it. And if my track record tells us anything, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll fall in love with the wildcard.

Meet the moodboard behind the moodboards.
bugs, dirt, gross.
SO…WHAT ARE WE MAKING TOGETHER?
Enough about me.
Tell me your weirdest idea.
I’ve told you about the nails, the Fast & Furious obsession, and my completely irrational fear of haunted houses (oh wait…did I tell you about that? Maybe keep that between ourselves…).
Tell me about the idea you can’t stop thinking about. The one that feels a little unexpected, a little outside your comfort zone, but very, very you.
I’m already excited to hear it.
