Born and raised in the South, Ki is a bona fide southern child living life in New York City. After nearly seven years in the quickly paced, super competitive world of fashion design, Ki left her amazing head designer job in the height of her career to find her passion. A year later in July 2010, she started her blog, southern child in the city..., to chronicle her search for the good life and her (mis)adventures in starting a small art and design brand. A lover of all things beautiful, Ki shares her search for beauty, style and fun with a sweetness and humor through her daily stories of life, love and family.
