I Illustrate for Best-Selling Authors

For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside best-selling authors, helping them shape and strengthen their brands. Now, I bring that same creative insight to the covers of their books through illustration. I specialize in folk-inspired artwork that captures the heart of your story and invites readers in at first glance. With so many books on the shelf, your cover is your first — and most powerful — introduction. Let’s create one a magical one. ✨

National Campaign for CHIPS

I teamed up with the creative crew at BMP to help bring two national campaigns to life — popping up everywhere from bus stops and city walls to t-shirts, hats, and laptop stickers. Known for infusing my work with a connection to nature, this tech campaign challenged me to bridge the gap between the digital world and the natural one. With over 15 years of branding experience behind me, I bring that blend of strategy and storytelling to every illustration I create.

Client testimonial for Kim Koehler: BMP loves working with Kim because she listens carefully to brand direction, collaborates seamlessly with creative directors, and consistently over delivers on visuals. She creates stunning, earthy pieces with broad audience appeal that are truly eye-catching. We absolutely love working with her!

Let's Make Something Together

I believe every project deserves a bit of magic. I bring thoughtful, nature-inspired illustration and fresh creative energy to the table — let me dream up something fabulous for you!
