About Kim |

Certified Zentangle® Teacher

CZT_2048x.png

Kim is the creative designer.  Kim is a Deaf Artist, a Certified Zentangle® Teacher and utilizes her creative talents in arts, graphic and web design.   She received both her Masters of Science in Adult, Occupational and Continuing Education, and Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Kansas State University.  She worked in the Vocational Rehabilitation and Mental Health fields for 20+ years and is now retired from those fields.

​

Kim has been an amateur crafter/artist/graphic/web designer for many years. She is passionate about lifelong learning and creativity.  She had just never attempted to make a career out of it – until now. 

 

The story of the beginnings of Anderson Designs is that it wasn’t until Kim stumbled across the zentangling, doodling, and coloring craze that she discovered more of what she was truly capable of doing.  Especially in terms of expanding her artistic skills. The process was a confidence builder,  which pushed her to make a decision to really do something about her creative side and make a business out of it.  Why can she not earn a living doing something she loves doing and have fun with too.   Hence, she opened up this business in April of 2014 as The Purple O, which has now changed to Anderson Designs in 2019! 

​

Now, The Creativity Planners are an integral part of Anderson Designs’ humble beginnings – starting with the former Purple O.  Kim is very proud to have designed the Creativity Planner from scratch from the very front cover to the back cover. Every detail about the Creativity Planner was exclusively designed and chosen by her.   It is the greatest graphic design achievement of hers - she never thought this was something she could do or create - but she did! The planners was the creative stepping boost to all that came after.  There are still some planners left and they will not be restocked once they are sold out. Kim has other projects to focus on and produce!  Kim wants Anderson Designs to continue to boost and nurture creativity – whether it be in arts, graphic and/or web design, or DIY projects!
