A Note from the Artist

Happy Monday is run by illustrator and designer Kimberly Coles.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked with hospitality brands, property managers, and destination marketing teams—helping places tell their stories through thoughtful design.

Through that work, I’ve seen how the smallest details—the architecture, the setting, the character of a place—are often what guests remember most.

That’s what I focus on in these illustrations.

Each piece is drawn by hand to capture not just the structure, but the feeling of arriving somewhere that feels considered, welcoming, and worth remembering.
