Hi, I'm Kiah.
I’m the artisan and designer behind Smithmade Essentials. I’ve worked as a visual designer for over 15 years, with small businesses and direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands. My passion for creativity led me to create Smithmade Essentials. Since starting this company, my love for running a maker business has grown, enriching my life and fueling my desire to continue learning and creating.
