Her work extends far beyond print and magazines—it’s on the branded work vehicles you pull up besides at the stoplight, it’s the signage you see as you enter a building, in your social media feeds and even in the promotional item you receive.
Kim’s true passion is building brand identities and crafting marketing strategies for new businesses, something she finds deeply rewarding. She has built a talented team of creative designers, promotional professionals, web experts, and account executives to deliver award-winning design and exceptional customer service.

– SMART Director

The Fitzgerald family moved to Palm Coast in 1978. Kim discovered her love of art at Bunnell Elementary School and it continued to grow through to graduation from Flagler Palm Coast High School in 1985. After receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in Commercial Art from Flagler College, she continued her education in Advertising Art Direction at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA. After earning her degree, she furthered her design and marketing experience by working in the real estate and land development industry in Flagler County for over a decade. But she wanted to take her creativity further so in 1998 Kim launched Curleytail Design. Kim attributes hard work, honesty, and giving back to the community as the key to the company’s success. In her free time, Kim enjoys biking, hiking, spending time with family and friends and getting back to her creative roots with photography and painting. She is married to Brian and has a boxer named Coco Bear.
