Meet the founder
I grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from UC Berkeley, and spent a few years working as a Content Marketing Manager before taking up lifestyle blogging full-time in Denver. It's been a wild ride since then and I've loved every minute of it.
While Kim Collective started out as a passion project back in my college days, it's grown to be a full-time business. I love writing about my day-to-day life, and the sustainable beauty brands, ethical fashion brands, food and home inspiration, faith-based articles, wellness tips, and dreamy travel destinations I'm eyeing.
After starting KC, I've connected with women across the country, some of who now regularly contribute to the blog. Today, I have a team of over 15 female contributors, who are passionate about our goal to inspire women to embrace mindful, ethical, and sustainable choices in their daily lives. If you're interested in contributing, please get in touch with me!
Ultimately, my goal is to inspire others to live life with a lighter footprint, find ways to give back to their community, and have plenty of fun along the way. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a familiar face, I'm truly grateful for your support. You make this community possible!
