Re-stored!


We are very excited to announce that we have relaunched K Boutique, an online store and creative outlet. The shop has been re-designed, re-imagined, and completely re-stored. Big thanks to our friends at BuzzCart for providing a powerful e-commerce solution.

Hardworking graphic designers need to unwind, but creative minds need to keep making stuff, and K Boutique is the result. Our graphic design training at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) began with a year of fine art foundations in drawing, painting, sculpting, and art history, and our creative process still rests on this base. It may say “graphic designer” on our business cards, but we’re still artists too.

Our other contributors to K Boutique are our kids, Cole and Joy, who genetically share our compulsion to make stuff. Collaborative projects are a fun way for us to play and learn together.

All of our products are made by us, and some are completely customized. Nothing is mass-produced or imported. If you are looking for a unique gift or a little something for yourself, check it out at www.k-boutique.com.


We hope you enjoy K Boutique and that it supplies a creative spark for you too!

Folly dolls

A Folly is a handmade felt doll and a child's drawing brought to life.

Kelly began making these dolls during the Green Bay Packers postseason run in 2011 as a way to entertain the kids while the games were on. Fun to make and even more fun to play with, Kelly is now taking orders.

Check out our Folly gallery on our Facebook page! For more information, click here.

10 years!

January 17, 2012 marks our 10th year in business! Thank you to each and every one of you for putting the busy in our business. We simply could not do it without you.
After 10 years, I can honestly say I still love what I do and that is because I have the pleasure of collaborating with you to present your business in the most effective and attractive way possible. Tony and I love the challenges you share with us.

Thank you for your support, loyalty, referrals, and sense of humor. Deadlines are tough, budgets are tight, but stress is well managed thanks to a bit of humor...oh and exercise, lots and lots of exercise...and maybe some caffeine...and sometimes a vacation...

Tony and I plan to celebrate this milestone with a relaunch of K Boutique this year. If you haven't already, find us on Facebook to keep up with all the goings on at K Art.
