Hi there! I’m Kaiti, the hands (and sometimes ink-stained fingers) behind Palm + Pearl.

I moved to Florida from Michigan in January 2025, and decided to try something completely different! I took a huge jump, and left my new job and opened Palm + Pearl in July, and quickly found joy connecting with people and other artists in-person at local markets — something that’s still at the heart of what I do today. Traveling to St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Nocatee, and more just to share my creations!

Since moving here, I made it my mission to study and learn about the new wildlife around me, which inspired my ongoing wildlife collection. I also wanted to explore Florida’s beaches and shells, sourcing them locally and incorporating them into my art. All the while, I’ve been creating truly Florida-inspired pieces, doing my best to learn, share, and educate through my work.

Every piece I make — from hand-carved linocut prints to patchwork hoodies and totes — is handmade, unique, and full of the coastal and wildlife inspiration that drew me here in the first place.
