Testimonials

She is able to bring our visions to life…we are lucky to have found her, and she flawlessly transforms our imaginations to reality for all our projects.
— Kelley Coins, Intercontinental Hemp
I recommend Tara McKee wholeheartedly to anyone looking for assistance with art and design. She’d taken my art and while she kept it true to the original vision, she showed it in a variety of palettes and combinations that I would never have thought of. It was my style but displayed so the potential client could see its
versatility.

About Tara

Hello, my name is Tara and I'm an artist based in Whatcom County, Washington. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in art from Western Washington University, I began my career working for a local watercolor artist named Jody Bergsma. There, I worked my way through the company eventually ending up in graphic and product design and production. In 2009, I established my business, Creative Kismet Design, and have since worked with an amazing group of artists, licensors and companies fulfilling their creative needs.

In my free time, I create my own artwork in a variety of mediums. I am also a foster for the Alternative Humane Society and love to read fantasy novels.
