Hey there! I’m Kelly. 👋
Illustrator, unapologetic homebody, and the creative engine behind Simply Love Printables.
If you love crisp designs, getting organized, or just adding a little more color to your day, you are exactly where you need to be.
I started this website because I believe that beautiful, functional design shouldn’t require shipping times or heavy price tags. Sometimes, you just need a perfect planner page or a beautiful piece of wall art right now.
I design everything you see here from my slightly chaotic home studio, fueled by good coffee and the constant supervision of my feline “manager.”
How It Started
I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil, but the idea for Simply Love Printables clicked for me when I was 22. I was constantly designing my own habit trackers, greeting cards, and wall art because I could never find exactly what I wanted in stores. Whenever friends saw them, they asked for copies.
I realized there is something deeply satisfying about the “instant magic” of printables. You find a design you love, click a button, and two minutes later, it’s sitting warm on your printer tray, ready to be used. I took the leap into full-time self-employment shortly after, turning my iPad sketches into a library of digital downloads designed to make life a little easier and a lot more beautiful.
“Good design isn't just about looking pretty. It's about how it makes your daily routine feel a little lighter.”
Behind the Screens
When I’m not sketching vectors or agonizing over the perfect color palette, I am probably trying to keep my cat, Barnaby, from walking across my keyboard. He is a 12-pound tabby with a lot of opinions about graphic design (mostly that I should stop doing it and feed him).
I am a big believer in the daily reset. Being self-employed means the screen fatigue is real, so I make it a point to step away every afternoon for a long walk to clear my head and get my step count in. It’s usually when I’m nowhere near my desk that the best ideas hit me.
4 Quick Things About Me:
- My morning ritual: I am incredibly particular about my coffee. I brew it manually with an Aeropress every morning—it’s the perfect five-minute ritual before jumping into emails.
- My favorite thing to draw: Florals and botanical line art. I could draw leaves for hours.
- My workspace aesthetic: “Organized chaos.” I have three different notebooks open at any given time, plus at least two half-empty coffee mugs.
- My evening wind-down: Escaping into a really well-written, atmospheric mystery show.
Let’s Stay Connected!
The best part of running this shop is seeing how you use my designs in your own life. Whether you’re framing a piece for your nursery or organizing your week with one of my planners, I love seeing them in the wild!
