Biography
Happy Monday Creative is your visual storyteller, design partner, and new favorite collaborator. I’m Kimberly Coles—an award-winning Creative Director, Illustrator, and UX/UI Designer with 25+ years of experience shaping brands, building digital experiences, and bringing places to life.
I support resorts, property groups, tourism boards, and destination brands with illustrated maps, landmark collections, UX/UI design, and pattern systems for 25+ destinations including Catalina Island, Cleveland, Palm Springs, Amarillo, and Camp Lucy—just a small sample of the places I’ve elevated through illustration and digital design.
Before founding Happy Monday, I led multidisciplinary teams as a Director of UX/UI. Since then, I’ve partnered with 30+ agencies nationwide and brands like Chase, Mitsubishi, Salesforce, IU, and Lilly—delivering strategic, beautifully crafted design and illustration built for real-world impact.
