WHERE CREATIVITY
IS RELATIVE TO COMMUNITY

KIIN is a multi-brand platform and future physical space built to support and connect creatives at any stage of their journey.At its core, KIIN is about community and self-reliance. It offers accessible tools, collaborative opportunities, and flexible structures designed to evolve with the people it serves. Through thoughtful projects, creative showcases, and intentional resources, KIIN nurtures honest expression, human-centered design, and the kind of support that empowers creatives to keep going, even when the path is unclear.

Each one has a
purpose

Yes, there are a lot of categories BUT they all serve a purpose in helping KIIN become what it's meant to be. I've summarised each one below but there's also a link to a video with even more detail. I just want to do everything I can to make sure NED, Salvillage, Naamio, ODAAT, LHAF and sm/le are given the proper introduction so when everything finally comes together you'll know exactly why they exist! (Also, KIINSHOP is how I plan on funding this project. Each item also explains what the funds will be going towards).

NED is creative-wear but I wanted it to be more than that. It’s a blank canvas designed to showcase authentic collaboration, the value in handmade items and the importance of noticing every designer. However your mind operates, whether or not you work with your hands, whoever you are in whatever space - NED has something for you to be creative in.

SALVILLAGE

taking what’s not wanted and
turning it into what’s needed.

Salvillage will be a community of people (a "village") who have always seen the value in the discarded (salvage). Salvillage will focus mainly on what can be created out of old/used paper, wood and fabric as well as the individuals who use everything at their disposal to design+upcycle through a series called Ko-built.Each episode and design will shine a light on what it means to be resourcesful and what it looks like when all of our minds come together. Watch the short video below for more info!

hands
collaborating

NAAMIO is a print-based project that focuses on giving the imperfect side of creativity a different place to exist. It started from my need to let go of old, overworked sketches so I could find purpose in the process of letting go.Through screen printing, NAAMIO will encourage those held back by self doubt to trust "the process" by working through . For now, it’s just me, building piece by piece, but the goal is to create a space where we can work through that process together.

responding,
Reconnecting & recording

LHAF (Love Had A Face) is for anyone who feels or has ever felt disconnected from who they thought they’d be. It’s about helping creatives reconnect with the parts of themselves they might’ve lost along the way — through events, mentorship, and honest conversations.It’s inspired by missed connections — but instead of strangers, it’s about the moments and dreams we feel like we missed out on. LHAF is here to offer encouragement, real support, and a reminder that it’s never too late to find your way back.

healing takes time,
so take the time to heal.

ODAAT (One Day At A Time) is a 30-day, pocket-sized coloring book designed to make healing and self-reflection feel approachable. Each page features prompts paired with an illustration that encourages small, consistent moments of self-compassion and reflection.

Brand Development
Done Differently

Thrd Space Studio is brand development done differently. Through a unique process called SONA, every brand is treated like a real person — with their own voice, habits, fears, and hopes. Before building anything — a campaign, a system, a strategy — I take the time to really get to know who the brand is, what they care about, and what they need to feel supported.Right now, Thrd Space is focused on working with 50 small and independent brands — in order to help support KIIN and everything it's setting out to accomplish.

creative
kollaboration

Each category has a purpose but each purpose has a foundation and that's collaboration. Ko-llab and Ko-built exist to ensure every collaborative interaction KIIN has is authentic, clear and mutually beneficial.

general

Ko-Llab will pop up whenever there's an opportunity to collaborate with categories like NED, ODAAT, LHAF or NAAMIO. Each opportunity is both different, based on embracing individuality and celebrating creativity.

salvillage + NED

Ko-Built and Creative In will be each be a mini series that focusses on local creatives, their process and aspirations.

kiinshop

Kiinshop is a way to invest in Kiin’s future — and in the kind of creative community it's trying to build. Every item is designed and priced to reflect what’s needed to grow, while honoring the priorities and realities of the people that want to support Kiin.
