Meet Kristin Brown, Founder and Creative of Imbued
Imbued originated in the Hawaiian Islands, where I spent over a decade working in the natural products industry, focused on the healing power of medicinal plants, organic foods, and environmental sustainability. I began to understand the deeper meaning of Aina (land) and the vital importance of our connection to it. That understanding became the seed for what would later grow into Imbued, a business rooted in care for the planet and its people.
My commitment to mindful living strengthened when I became a mother, teaching my daughter about holistic health, creative expression, and environmental stewardship. From these influences came the first vision for Imbued. Launched in 2019, the brand began as an eco-conscious clothing line with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. Shortly after, I quit my 12-year corporate wellness career to pursue the brand full-time.
When the pandemic disrupted manufacturing in 2020, I began exploring the Art of Natural Dye. What began as virtual lessons with a teacher in California grew into a profound love for plant-based color. This experience reshaped Imbued, expanding it beyond apparel into a space where natural fibers, plant dyes, and holistic wellness would come together. It opened the path to begin facilitating workshops and events, sharing this creatively therapeutic process with others.
Along the way, another interest grew—Human Design. What started as a personal practice for self-development and entrepreneurial growth became something I felt called to share. Today, through certification with Hillary McVeigh’s Design By You program, I offer comprehensive, personalized Human Design Guides to help others recognize their strengths, patterns, and potential.
All of these practices—holistic wellness, natural dye, connection to nature, and Human Design—have been essential to my own growth. Together, they continue to guide Imbued’s vision: inspiring people to explore their greatest expression through creativity, self-discovery, community care, and eco-conscious choices.
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
