We met at one of Kimberly’s spiritual retreats in early 2013. Knowing we had each found our soulmate, by December of that same year we were married. We both had some familiarity and practice with Human Design for years prior, but in 2014 everything shifted. It was then that Kimberly received direct guidance in meditation that she should truly study Human Design, and so we dove in. Since then, we have both gone deep into the study and understanding of oneself and others through the lens of awareness the system offers. For us, the dedication that comes with committing oneself to higher awareness and breaking free of old patterns is powerfully enhanced through devoted engagement with Human Design.

Richard was born and raised in Western Massachusetts. He attended Brown University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with Honors and a B. A. in Studio Art in 1985. He then went on to apprentice as a cabinet maker with an elder brother, also learning the crafts of carpentry and woodworking. From 1988 onward, he spent the better part of the next 30 years working as a set carpenter in the film industry. For the last 20 of those years, he worked as a Union propmaker in Los Angeles, building sets for television and film productions. In 2019, he retired and moved to Texas to live full time with Kimberly and her then teenage son. Richard continues to enjoy occasional carpentry work while focussing more and more of his passion sharing the knowledge and practice of Human Design. Richard has taken numerous courses with the International Human Design School and is currently on a path to be a Certified Analyst.

Kimberly was born in the Azores, Portugal Islands, to American parents stationed in the military there. She was raised in Texas, where many generations of her family hale from, then briefly studied art and photography at the San Fransisco Art Institute. In 1988, two life-changing events took place; she was invited to work in Hollywood and she learned TM, Transcendental Meditation. Over the next decade, Kimberly built a very successful career in the film industry as a still photographer, all the while continuing to deepen and advance her meditation practice. In the late 1990’s, while in her early thirties, she had a ‘crisis of conscience;’  she began to feel that the film industry as a whole was causing great harm to humanity and she walked away from her career.

Kimberly sold her home, left the relationship she was in and went to an ashram to practice advanced meditation. After about three months, she left the ashram and was reunited with an old boyfriend. At the end of 2001 she gave birth to her son, and he became the central focus in her life for the many years of parenting that followed. In 2010, Kimberly began to serve others through her guided meditation retreats and energy healing sessions. By 2016, Kimberly ceased offering that work, primarily because she found people were usually more interested in ‘psychic readings’ than spiritual progress. “With Human Design, I feel I can give people a tool they can take with them to continue their own journey of spiritual growth, rather than relying on me or any other practitioner for answers to life's continual questions.”
