ABOUT
Kimberly Ann Hawes

I am an award-winning Spatial Artist and Commercial Visual Installation Specialist based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My goal is to completely redefine how luxury hospitality developers and corporate leaders experience the spaces they inhabit.

My work has earned formal recognition from the historic August Wilson House, been featured prominently in the Pittsburgh Mayor's office, and was selected as a visual backdrop for Paramount's hit series Mayor of Kingstown. High-stakes environments demand art that commands a room, and that is exactly what I deliver.

But my work goes much deeper than just visual aesthetics. Drawing from my academic foundation in International Relations—specifically focusing on Japanese and French corporate protocol—I created a proprietary discipline called Cross-Cultural Spatial Intelligence.

I pair an artist's eye for statement and presence with a diplomat's precision for how physical space communicates hierarchy, welcome, and prestige across different cultures. Instead of just making a wall look beautiful, I ensure it is fluent in the unspoken protocols that global executives and discerning travelers read before a single word is exchanged.

For developers and architects building on the world stage, I offer something far beyond decoration—I offer identity. My custom murals and statement wall applications give high-stakes spaces an undeniable point of view. When we work together, I am not merely an installer commissioned for a project; I am your strategic partner, entrusted with the visual voice of your space.

THE PHILOSOPHY
Kimberly Ann Hawes

Every environment teaches people how to feel before anyone speaks.

A hotel lobby communicates trust.

A healthcare clinic can reduce anxiety.

An executive office can reinforce leadership.

A restaurant can encourage guests to stay longer.

These outcomes are not accidents. They are designed.

I help organizations intentionally shape those experiences through environmental identity systems that combine visual strategy, color intelligence, cultural storytelling, and commercial design.

CREDENTIALS
Built on Experience. Designed with Purpose.
Award-Winning Creative

Recognition earned through competitive professional and public art projects, bringing proven creative thinking to every installation.

International Perspective

Artwork exhibited internationally, shaping a design approach influenced by cultures, architecture, and visual storytelling from around the world.

Commercial Environments

Focused on large-scale wall graphics, murals, custom wallpaper, and branded interiors that give businesses a distinctive visual identity.Uùu


WHY IT MATTERS
Visual identity is not decoration. It is direction.

The spaces people remember are the ones that make a statement before anyone says a word. A restaurant, hotel, office, or lobby should communicate who you are the moment someone walks through the door.

That's what intentional visual design does. It shapes perception, reinforces your brand, and transforms an ordinary space into one people remember long after they leave.

I I work with commercial clients who understand that great design isn't an expense—it's part of the customer experience. Every project begins with strategy and ends with an environment that feels purposeful, distinctive, and built to last.

Let's Create a Space People Remember.

Book a commercial consultation to discuss the space, scope, direction, and next steps. Serious inquiries only — this is for commercial clients with a real project and a real timeline.
