Hi! I’m Kendall—the creative and CDO (Chief Doodle Officer) at Little Tomato. I was born and raised in Ohio, and now I doodle, dream, and create from New York City.

My love for drawing started early, watching my mom sketch pretty ladies in stylish dresses and floral bouquets while chatting away on our landline phone. She could turn a scrap of paper and a ballpoint pen into magic, and she always encouraged me to explore anything creative. By elementary school, I had already launched my first “brand”, Kendall’s Kards, a short-lived but very fun greeting card line that I only sold to my family.

Around the same time, I fell in love with gardening. Watching tiny seeds turn into big, happy plants, especially tomatoes, taught me the joy of patience, care, and what something seemingly small could turn into.

Fast forward two decades, and I’ve explored just about every creative outlet: fashion design, illustration, interior design, pottery, watercolor, sewing, and more. Doodling and mixed medium art has always been my happy place. After a big life nudge this year, I decided to share that joy more publicly and launched Little Tomato. What started only a few months ago has already been filled with little sales, little wins, and a whole lot of big joy.
