Kak Art & Designs

i’m katherine klimitas, artist, speaker, author and graphic designer. i have osteogenesis imperfecta, better known as brittle bone disease. i get around in an electric wheelchair. i’m 2 feet, 7 inches tall. and by age 10, i had broken 500+ bones. but there was no way my parents and i were going to let my disease dictate my happiness. my parents influenced me the most. they made me want to make something of myself, and i was going to be happy doing it—end of story. during my senior year at loyola university, i started kak art & designs. while my services have changed since 2011, i’ve stayed focused on 2 key areas: 1) expanding my reach and capabilities as a watercolor artist; and 2) motivating others to contribute to their communities. after owning my business for nearly a decade, what keeps me striving for something more? i want my work to bring people joy.
