Our Origin

O.O.M.F. Creative was born from a journey back to joy.

After twenty remarkable years evolving from designer to VP for leading brands & licensing her artwork across industries, founder Josephine Kimberling faced a turning point. An unexpected career pivot gave her a chance to pause and realize the once blazing-bright creative spark in her and her zest for life was now a barely sparkling ember.

Slowly, she began reconnecting with her artistic roots which turned into a powerful healing journey – providing stepping stones from burnout to renewed purpose.

Josephine founded O.O.M.F. Creative with a radiant purpose: to create products that champion positivity, uplift spirits & forge genuine connections in a world hungry for kindness.

About Our Founder, CEO & Artist, Josephine Kimberling

Born in Washington and raised in sunny California, Josephine has called Seattle home for 20+ years. Her creative journey reflects her vast appetite for artistic exploration, successfully wearing many hats from artist & designer to trend forecaster, creative director & VP— creating art herself, for other companies, and leading talented creative teams.

The seed for her card passion was planted early—working for a rubber stamp company during college where she created handmade cards regularly by day and taught classes to customers by night. Regularly having a creative side hustle – from creating hundreds of rubber stamp designs to adorn cards to designing wedding invitations to making & selling hand-made Christmas cards – this medium has always captivated her.

This passion for cards led her to Kansas City, MO to work for Hallmark, designing for their stationery & gift wrap products (and creating some top-sellers that stayed on their shelves for years after her time there).

Loving art & color, she spent a decade at Nordstrom creating artwork for textiles alongside color & pattern trend forecasting for multiple labels. This experience taught her to flex her artistic hand to meet the needs of various brands. A now signature to her artistic aesthetic.

Now, after two decades building other companies' dreams, she's decided to build her own.

As both a right & left-brained creative—equally visionary & strategist—she's thrilled to wear multiple hats while building something meaningful from the ground up.

Our Artful Approach

Every O.O.M.F. Creative design begins in Josephine's sketchbook with hand-drawn art celebrating her distinctive maximalist style & love of vibrant colors. Drawing from her fashion industry roots, you'll discover a delightful variety of art styles—all created by one artist (for now!) who believes creative growth comes from constantly trying new approaches.

As a certified life coach & passionate advocate for helping others feel seen & cared for, Josephine understands the profound impact of reaching out to connect through small acts of kindness. Whether through a text, call, or beautifully designed card, these moments of thoughtfulness create ripples of joy that extend far beyond the initial gesture.

We are Optimistic

We know that life is chock-full of sunny days and stormy skies and strive to create cards for a variety of life's experiences through the lens of hope. Seeing people for who they are and where they are at, letting them know they are loved and to not give up.

We Strive to Make Positive Impact

Whether it's our Eco-conscious practices, that extra spark of joy we put into each design or customer conversation, we're committed to increasing our awareness of how our choices affect our beautiful world while ensuring you have a delightful experience with us.

Our Mission

We create heartfelt, beautifully designed products that help people connect authentically & spread kindness—one card, one moment, one meaningful gesture at a time.

Looking Ahead

O.O.M.F. Creative is just getting started!

We're building a sustainable business that prioritizes creativity, our local community & our planet while asking the question: How can we make the world a little brighter today?

Based in Seattle, Washington, O.O.M.F. Creative is a proud women-owned small business dedicated to bringing more beauty, connection & joy into everyday moments.
