About

Kevin Williamson grew up in Brown County, Indiana surrounded by artists and natural beauty. He worked in the family furniture shop, drew and painted local landscapes, launched model rockets, and was intensely curious about absolutely everything.

As a graphic designer and woodworker he is curious about how most everything is created. He loves computers, Photoshop, old hand tools, and the smell of freshly milled lumber.

Kevin earned his undergraduate degree in art from MidAmerica Nazarene University. He has worked as a graphic designer, art director, adjunct graphic design professor and macintosh pro.

For many years he pursued the disciplines of design, art and furniture building, but in 2006 began a serious pursuit of merging these passions into a coherent whole.

Kevin lives in Independence, Missouri, with his wife Nona. They have 5 grown children. He is active in his local church and has led overseas mission teams to Guatemala, Peru, El Salvador, and Ecuador.
