About Kayla

business woman | creative | avid reader | wife & mother

Listen, have you ever tried to write about yourself? Safe to say a memoir is not a part of my journey. I like to do a lot of things and I love to laugh. I was born & raised in Michigan but my heart belongs in Arizona, and if I could have seven different careers I would. I want to be Spencer Reid, a marine biologist, a famous youtuber, a real estate mogul, and a professional traveler. I don’t think many people are surprised that I ended up owning a couple businesses being creative though! It’s where my true heart lies & I love it here.

Lifelong Creative

Being creative has been a way of life for me since I was a child. Name a creative hobby & I’ve probably tried it out! 

True Crime Afficionado

Give me the dark & twisty and I’ll be intrigued all day long! I grew up watching CSI and Criminal Minds.

An Educated Girly

I have my degree in… Psychology? I know, right! NOT graphic design? Thank you, thank you. Psychology is just another of my many passions!

Professional Multi-Tasker

I’m not sure I know how to do one thing at a time anymore. That’s partly just who I am, but partly being a mother. Time is irrelevant at this point. I do all of the things all of the time and sometimes (rarely) I sleep.

Things I’m currently into

I’m fully embracing my dark romance era, which is on par for me
Working on writing my first novel and obsessing over it!
Watching true crime podcasts on Youtube. Strictly Kendall Rae and Mile Higher
Trying to do more things with my kids outside of the home now that they’re getting older
Meeting up with friends more often. No more staying home forever!
Just being really confident in who I am as a person & I’m honestly just proud of me

This is my journey

2020

Published My First Book

This was a massive project very near and dear to my heart. A children’s book about social justice written with my best friend (you might find her elsewhere on this site haha). This one was for our kids <3

2021

Started Dark Midnight Design Co

Two avid readers who wanted all the merch for their favorite books decided to start a company. Some really big wins later, and the imposter syndrome is slowly fading!

2024

Started My First Novel

A dystopian romance set in a fractured United States – coming early 2025!
