KIT'S STORY

Kit Hutchinson is the artist, maker, and curator behind Heartshake Studios. Kit grew up near Portland, Oregon where they developed a love of nature and a taste for quirky style. After graduating from Bard College with a degree in Studio Art and French Studies in 2010, Kit taught art for a few years before deciding to focus on selling their own art and working in the creative small retail industry. Kit is constantly inspired by the creations of other artists and loves sourcing unique products to bring together.

In 2018, Kit moved to beautiful Colorado Springs, CO, where they fulfilled their dream of opening their own brick and mortar store, where they curated their own goods alongside the work of 200+ other artists and brands. After years of success running the Heartshake Studios flagship store, Kit expanded Heartshake's retail offerings in 2022 with a second store in Old Colorado City called Little Heartshake, but after a few years, they felt the call of change again and felt moved to refocus on their own creative output. So in 2025, Kit closed their original store and consolidated down to Little Heartshake, which remains as Heartshake's home for retail shopping in Colorado Springs (learn more about the shop here!). Now Kit is working towards creating new art and expanding their line of home goods, available at Little Heartshake, here on our online store, and at a growing list of 100+ stockists around the United States (see the full list here to find their goods near you!)
