Kymberly Drapcho (she/her) is a crybaby living in Denver, CO. Raised in Pennsylvania (go Erie Otters!), she’s spent most of her life nurturing her two greatest loves: writing and style.
Her real-life work is informed by Big 10 education, including a Master’s in Composition and Rhetoric (University of Maryland) and a Bachelor’s in Professional Writing (Penn State University). Since graduating, she’s spent her professional life writing about fashion, weed and human stories.
Kym’s hobbies include daydreaming, kissing, rollerblading, overthinking something weird she once said and trying to find space in her closet for one more vintage piece.
