Mrs. Brown embarked on her journey in cosmetology, culminating in her graduation from cosmetology school in 1996 with an outstanding grade average of 98%. However, her beginnings can be traced back to her early days as a "kitchen beautician." Motivated by her personal decision to embrace her natural hair for the third time and the challenges she faced in finding hair products that were both affordable and effective in promoting healthy hair, she delved into comprehensive research and experimentation with hair care and hair products.

Through her diligent efforts, she succeeded in formulating a line of hair care products that catered to people of diverse ethnicities, specifically those with natural hair of various textures, including wavy, curly, kinky, and loc'd. The true measure of success for her product line was initially observed in the lustrous and resilient hair of her family members, including her children and husband, who proudly embrace their natural hair with its distinct curls, coils, and locs.

Mrs. Brown boasts an impressive 27-year tenure within the beauty industry, obtaining her managerial cosmetologist license in 1996. Her expertise extends beyond catering to her loyal clientele's hair and nail care needs. Mrs. Brown has also dedicated a significant portion of her career to serving the elderly community residing in nursing homes and senior care facilities across Columbus, diligently attending to their hair and nail care requirements.

Mrs. Brown is a licensed managerial cosmetologist who has also distinguished herself as an alumna of the esteemed Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) in Columbus, Ohio. Her exceptional talent and accomplishments in various design competitions, including being awarded an honorable mention by Victoria's Secret, have garnered recognition during her time at CCAD. Furthermore, Mrs. Brown's academic journey at CCAD has been marked by her consistent inclusion on the Dean's List and the receipt of several President's Awards.

Driven by an unwavering ambition, Mrs. Brown is now pursuing a MFA in illustration to enhance her artistic skills and deepen her understanding of the intricacies of this form of visual storytelling. With each brushstroke and pencil line, her passion for illustration continues to flourish. She is dedicated to honing her craft and pushing the boundaries of her creativity. Maintaining a remarkable GPA of 3.4 or higher throughout her academic pursuits reflects her unwavering dedication and commitment to excellence. Each passing day only strengthens her resolve to pursue a Master's degree in illustration as she aspires to make a significant impact through her artistic endeavors.

Mrs. Brown, the founder of KlynDesigns, recognized the exorbitant costs associated with many advertising and design services. In response, she established her company as an exception, offering a unique combination of creative excellence and affordability. By adopting a project-based fee structure rather than charging hourly rates, KlynDesigns ensures reasonable client costs while eliminating hidden or unexpected expenses.

Mrs. Brown's passion for continuous learning drives her pursuit of academic excellence, enabling her to seize every opportunity for growth as an artist. She possesses diverse talents, excelling in creating digital illustrations and the traditional fine arts of sculpture, drawing, and painting.

Despite her commitment as a wife and mother, Mrs. Brown's entrepreneurial efforts remain unimpeded by her domestic responsibilities. She has successfully served numerous organizations and businesses, fostering lasting relationships with satisfied clients who regularly seek her services.
