Thunder Kite Studio is the creative playground of Kacie Kinzer and Tom Gerhardt—two hardcore design professionals turned spiritual softies—where we craft a more thoughtful, meaningful, and beautiful world through product design and collaboration. Together, we’ve set out on a path to live in greater harmony with the earth, connect with our passion and purpose, and help others do the same. We’re constantly creating new products and experiences, while also mentoring heart-centered founders and entrepreneurs who share our vision. If you’re curious about what we do or how we can help, we’d love to hear from you..

She helped run design teams at some of the world’s most innovative companies and startups, has numerous design awards, and has personal work in the MoMA in NYC. In 2021, she had a massive spiritual awakening that transformed her life, and led to her seeking new ways to bridge design, creativity, entrepreneurship, healing and transformational modalities. She trained shamanic and somatic healer and now helps coach and guide clients to heal and align with their heart’s highest calling through the expression of their creative gifts.
