Leathersmith

Kirsten Brink

My story...
I have more hobbies than I have time or money for! I love reading, painting, hiking, yoga, travel, gardening, quirky coffee spots, board games, excuses to wear a costume, and I'll never say no to a massage.

Leatherworking for me, has been a fantastic craft to make personalized and high quality gifts that are useful and classy. Leather is also a great accessory for a day of jousting at the Renaissance Faire, or a day in the office. There is so much flexibility with the craft!

I was born in Ann Arbor and raised in Tecumseh. After graduating from Western Michigan university I taught public school for 9 years (2 years art; 7 years science.) I then went back to school at Texas A&M and changed careers to Biomedical Engineering.

Currently, I work for AstraZeneca and live in Fort Worth Texas with my fantastic husband Andrew, and fur babies Shania and Faith. I am an empty nester of my daughter, Olivia, currently at school in Austin Texas.
