Delightful Products

You have wonderful ideas and your excitement about them is infectious.

You daydream about the days when your sales are just rolling in, with all those perfect product lines that only live in your head now.

But every time you try to get started, something gets in your way.

Most days, it’s finding the right art for your products.

Other days, you get stuck because of a skill you haven’t mastered yet.

Oftentimes, it’s simply finding the motivation to work.

And with all of that, the crippling self doubt begins to creep in, and you just can’t seem to shake it off.

Well, friend, it’s time to do Product Creation differently.

Count me in

Well, friend, it’s time to do Product Creation differently.

Let’s start with the Art.

It’s possible that you love to draw, but it’s also possible that you struggle with that part.

Luckily for you, I don’t. Actually, I love it, and I decided that I want to get my art into as many creators’ hands as possible—without any strings attached.

That’s when the Creative Stash was born.

Affectionately called the Stash, it includes unlimited access to a curated collection of my illustrations, graphics, lettering, patterns, and more—all ready for you to use in your product creation journey.

To top it all off, all of the goodies in the Stash come with a simple commercial license and the ONLY PLR art license around, so you can create your products confidently.

No more keeping track of what license you’ve got.

But product creation involves more than just art.

As creators, we need to get over the hurdles that we can’t see, like:

spending hours, days, weeks trying to create the perfect product that captures your creative essence while appealing to your ideal audience
trying to figure out legal licenses and what you can and can’t do with the art you do have
finding yourself running on empty, desperately needing the support of people who know what you’re going through

All of this time spent thinking about the logistics of being creative takes away from your potential to actually create.

It drains you of your creative desire and limits the time you can be making money off of your art!

The Creative Lab was made just for you

The cycle of planning, designing, and marketing can be exhausting and isolating.

While it’s easy to let these feelings extinguish your creative spark, the Creative Lab was made to help you with the product creation cycle and remind you that you’re not alone.

In fact, there are many artists already in the Creative Lab, forming an online community that is warm and dedicated to helping you nurture a creative habit that will make product creation easier, faster, and more profitable.

The Creative Lab will help you:

find support & inspiration from like-minded individuals who have experience in a variety of creative areas
level up your product creation by accessing a library of workshops that will help you master different skills
access downloads of unique illustrations, graphics, lettering, and patterns that can be used for your products, all of which come with a commercial license & the only PLR art license around
find motivation and accountability through monthly creative sessions

What Members are saying…

I love this community for may reasons, the first one is that I get to connect with likeminded people, people who are in a similar journey than me, and when you work from home that is supper important. Its great for accountability, having other people to show your progress gives me an encouragement to do more and finally but maybe most importantly having access to Kimberly Costa’s expertise its amazing, she is very generous with her knowledge and as someone who has navigated the industry for a while she is a great guide.

Paola C.

The support and positivity is really amazing in this membership, and getting to talk to you in the community is huge. It recharges my batteries scrolling through the community or when I caught you live in the group. It gives me that motivation to keep going and figure out how to level up my business…I think the fact that we get to help grow and mold the group with you is such an important aspect. You really make me feel heard and seen…This community feels homey and inspirational and a joy to be in with you.

I love the non-complicated commercial use of the designs. While I love designing, this has been able to save me time and get more products out. I normally take them into Ai and make my own patterns or change the colors to make it diff from others. Also, your support has been helpful as well.

I Want In

Hey! I’m Kimberly Costa—a designer, illustrator, budding teacher, and chaotic creative.

I began my career as an animator, but quickly found my creative passion wasn’t limited to a single outlet. I began focusing energy on everything I could get my hands on: graphic design, branding, web design, illustration, lettering, pattern design, and so much more. Creativity is limitless, and I came to realize that all you need to do is allow yourself the freedom to follow whatever sparks your interest.

The Creative Lab came to life because I think all creatives deserve a place that fuels their creative exploration. In order to do this, I remove all barriers of creation by offering my art to ensure that members are able to begin creating and selling products instantly and confidently.

I firmly believe that we are all creative creatures at heart, and that we just need the right tools, a little support & encouragement, and inspiration to turn our “creative spark” into something bigger.

On days I’m not working, I love to spend time with my husband and two boys, likely building lego sets! Recently, I’ve discovered a passion for crocheting, which I love to do at night while snuggled up with my puppy.
