About the designer

I am Kathleen Mon, and I’ve always inwardly self-identified as a creator, but for various reasons, never dared to do so outwardly - until now. We are all so much more than what is listed on our LinkedIn, what’s posted on our socials. Facts or even fictions, they don’t reveal what lies within. 

At my core, I’ve always been an ardent believer in self-determination - and that every choice, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is an expression.  So much of what I’ve done in life has been driven by what I felt I “should” do - setting aside or deferring what I yearned to do instead. Those choices were indeed a part of who I am, but rather than an expression of my hopes, they were reflections of my fears. Life is both too short and too long to be spent serving anything short of what we love. 

If you asked me at age 13 what I’d be in the future, I’d have told you “a designer.” And for decades after, the answer was otherwise. Today, after a long detour of giving the wrong answers, my heart is full to be introducing myself to you as the designer - beyond grateful to claim the chance to share with you, from my heart, what was kept private for too long.
