Kaia Bakken To All Instructors

Hi! My name is Kaia Bakken, and I’m excited to share my love of creative writing with your kids! I grew up homeschooled, along with my husband of ten years, and together we are doing a blend of unschooling and homeschooling for all four of our kiddos. I have a lifelong love of storytelling and world building - whether that’s through stories or illustration. I’m currently working on my first book to independently publish and illustrate, though I’ve been drawing and writing since I could pick up a crayon. My teaching style focuses on creating a supportive, inspiring environment where students of all experience levels can feel confident exploring their creativity. Outside of class, I own my own illustration business where I make bookish themed merchandise and stationery. I also work directly with independently published authors to bring art to their stories. Forming author connections has been so beneficial in understanding the process of storytelling and publishing. I believe every student has a unique voice, and I look forward to helping them discover and develop it in our class together! When I’m not homeschooling or working, you can find me reading or listening to a book, staring at mgarden waiting for the flowers to grow, and spending time with my beautiful family.
