Kimberly de Braconier
I’m a designer, illustrator, and entrepreneur with a passion for visual storytelling and education
Areas of expertise: Tech, Education, Sports, Publishing
London Chapter:
My journey began in London, where I worked in the online publishing world. First as an illustrator in the Education Department at Dorling Kindersley, and later as a graphic designer and animator at Premium TV (NTL), helping shape their pioneering digital education content.
NYC Chapter:
After five exciting years in London, I moved to NYC and spent over a decade in the fashion industry. I built and led the graphics team for a fashion company, working on multiple brands in small leather goods, handbags, and jewelry. My work spanned product design specs, branding, and marketing campaigns, with artwork featured in top publications like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.
SWISS Chapter:
Now in Zurich with my husband and three boys, I’ve embraced life as a serial entrepreneur. Working as a designer across industries, I design logos, brand identities, and websites, and continue to illustrate and paint for personal projects, especially portraiture and children’s educational book illustrations.
In 2019 I founded B&MA GmbH grown out of Body & Mind Academy. We remain a family-minded business, offering services tailored to the needs of both children and their parents. B&MA is a vibrant platform that, thanks to the skills and experience of its team, organizes numerous playful and artistic workshops designed to help children explore, experiment, and most importantly have fun. Our offer includes: tennis, skiing, breakdance, crafts, arts, construction, and nature-based activities with a local focus.
Whether I’m designing a new brand or organizing creative activities for kids, I bring curiosity, experience, and heart to everything I do.
