I’m the creative mind behind Kreative Artisan Threads, a studio where Afrocentric culture meets anime-inspired imagination through hand-tufted functional fiber art. My work transforms color, texture, and story into art you can live with, not just look at.

Art has always been part of me. I earned my BA in Graphic Design, but for years, I floated between painting, digital art, and jewelry design, searching for something that felt like home. None of it fully clicked until the day I saw a woman tufting, and something in me lit up. That. Was. It.

I did what any ADHD-fueled creator does: I hyper-focused, researched, and grabbed a punch needle kit. That first tufted piece changed everything. In March 2023, I asked for cash gifts for my birthday, bought supplies, built my first tufting frame, and made my first official piece. I haven’t stopped since.

Tufting gave me what no other art form could. It’s tactile, sculptural, grounding, and it lets me blend everything I love: Afrocentric storytelling, abstract design, a hint of anime and BL whimsy, and spiritual softness. It centers me. It’s therapy. It’s liberation.

My work isn’t floor décor, it’s functional fiber art, dimensional and textured, carved with purpose and care. Each piece carries identity, intention, and story. Whether it’s a wall-hung fiber painting, altar piece, desk pad, or sacred soft sculpture, it’s designed to live with you, bless your space, and reflect who you are.

I create for the Black, the queer, the neurodivergent, the spiritual, the joyful, and the soft, for anyone who knows the power of art as sanctuary and storytelling.

🧵 What Makes K.A.T Different

I don’t mass-produce décor. I craft functional fiber art paintings, carved, dimensional, layered works that transform everyday textiles into visual stories. From character-inspired desk art to altar pieces and sacred soft sculptures, every creation is a fusion of function, form, and freedom.

💜 My Mission

My mission is to craft fiber art that holds space for joy, identity, and softness, especially for those who are often unseen. I tuft for the misfits, the makers, the spiritual seekers, the Black, the queer, and the neurodivergent. Every stitch is an act of care, every carving a prayer for softness in a hard world.

🎨 Fiber Art vs. Floor Décor

These are not floor coverings; they are functional fiber art paintings.

Traditional décor is made to serve a space.
My work is made to transform a space, to be seen, felt, and honored.

“When we say ‘functional art,’ we mean art that lives with you.”

Each piece holds dimension, texture, and story.
Whether it hangs on your wall, rests on your altar, brightens your desk, or grounds your meditation space, it’s art created to move with your life, not just sit beneath it.

🧠 Why I Do This

As someone living with ADHD, tufting is how I regulate my mind and connect to purpose. It’s how I bring softness and intention into a loud world. Through yarn, I offer more than color and texture; I offer sanctuary, representation, and radical joy.

I’m not just an artist. I’m a maker. A storyteller. A vibe curator. A truth-teller, armed with a tufting gun.
