I make things. They’re practical. They’re also pretty.

Creating Everyday Beauty Through Mindful Making

Welcome to Leland Ave Studios!

Hi! I’m Kim! I believe in thoughtful creation through practical means. Whether I’m quilting, cooking, or gardening, I value sustainability, minimize waste, and celebrate the imperfect marks of human craftsmanship. I create things meant to be both used and admired – practical beauty for real life.
