Hi, I’m Kym.
And I do Kymology.
I create and curate selections of things that match my mood and interests at any given time.
I Show and Sell my Work online, at Pop up Shops, and a few brick and mortar shops (until I get my own!). And I publish my work via Exhibits online and in print.
If that feels confusing, what really sums it up, is that I don’t do ONE thing. I’m a writer, I’m an artist, a MAKER, and an overall creative human. I have a penchant for things and stuff - can’t let a good thing go in the trash! If you know me, you know I’ll take anything anyone’s throwing out and give it new life or at least a place in my overfull shed! I’ve also been called The Plant Lady.
I’m a big thinker, an uncertified philosopher, a Challenge do-er, and a guide for others. (30 Day Challenges are my jam.) I pay attention to the moon, I focus on my self, and I am a resource to others because I have been selfish with my time and energy.
For a long time I grappled with the question “what’s my thing?”. Plagued with niche based business strategy should, I thought I had to find my thing, then it was choose the thing, then it was maybe I chose the wrong thing. There was a lot of thinking about things.
Eventually I decided the one thing thing wasn’t my thing.
Now you can find me doing whatever thing suits my fancy at any given time.

Things and Stuff
Creative 🔺
For a long time I had a vision to have a shop where I could sell a wide assortment of things. The assortment being wide and a shop space being expensive, I didn’t do this idea for a long time.
For years I haggled about the whats. WHAT should I do, what is my thing?! Should I do art, should I do plants, should I do repurposed and upcycled things? Post cards, stickers, pins. Refinished furniture, thrifty wearables. Mystery boxes, gems, stones, handmade cards, smudge sticks, custom journals, unique care packages, 30 Day Challenge kits, KymsKitchen food stuff, pottery, prints! The list of possibles has been long.
I am interested in so many things! How to pick one or one type? For so long I thought I HAD to pick one thing and I belabored to do so. Not being able to pick a thing, was a whole thing.
Finally finally finally, I leaned into myself as a renaissance human. I feel very Da Vinci about my life now and I embrace that rather than see it as a problem to be fixed through choosing a niche. My list of interests and abilities far exceed any one thing I am supposed to fit in to be marketable.
Because of all this, I haggled about what to call it too. Lots of names, imagined on overhanging shop signs, and virtual headers. None of them were broad enough to cover anything I wanted to do. Thus: ‘Kymology Things and Stuff’ was born! In lieu of putting more belabored time and energy into picking a perfect thing, coming up with a cool, all encompassing name, I decided: Things and Stuff and put it on as a branch of Kymology. And I LOVE it!
Welcome to my space, my life, my Things and Stuff.
Self Work
Kym became unintentionally notorious for doing 30 Day Challenges.
And once people saw what she was doing, they wanted to know more about it, to do it themselves. That’s when she started offering Guided Challenges. You might think it’s not hard to do a 30 day challenge, and you don’t NEED a guide to do it, and you’re not wrong. But if you do WANT one, Kym is available for that. When you’re ready to get to serious work about your self or something in your life, doing a Kymology Challenge will change your life.

I love your challenge.

Pricing is based on both the project's scope and your desired timeline. I strive to work with you to come up with a price that feels good for both of us.

Timelines depend on the project, but I generally dedicate up to a month to each program or project, with the possibility of an extension based on my availability.
