Kimmi Phillips Self Portrait - Jordan - 2022

Hey there! I'm Kimmi, The Backpack Girl.

My diverse background in the visual arts, design, advertising, social media, and communications has equipped me with a versatile skill set and a creative mindset, establishing me as a jill of all trades in developing innovative concepts.

Art and creativity is in my core. I have been developing concepts ever since I could hold a paintbrush at the age of five years old. This is where my journey begins and continues forward.

I earned my bachelor of arts degree in mass communications from the University of South Florida. I took a gap year as an au pair in Brussels, Belgium and ended up completing my master's degree in communications from Vrije Universities Brussel. Upon graduation I became an English and art teacher in Shanghai, China for four years. I moved back to the US to work in higher education and study abroad.

I have explored six continents with my 35L backpack and also lived in Belgium and China for six years. My other passions include paddle boarding, hiking, reading, and cooking.
