My name is Kimya — it means “Chemistry” in Arabic. To my friends, I’m just Kem. I am legally nonbinary, multi-racial, and those truths shape the way I see  and navigate this the world: challenging, full of roadblocks, yet, simultaneously; fluid, limitless, and beyond categories.I received my Bachelors Degree in Media and Professional Communications from the University of Pittsburgh and graduated during the worst recession since the Great Depression. I have worked in nearly every industry there is, but art and creativity has always been a safe outlet for me, even in my darkest moments.For over a decade, I worked with the Boston LGBTQ Film Festival, the only person of color on the team. I helped expand the festival from an all-white program into 8 diverse film series — proving that art can transform spaces and make them inclusive.I also know what it’s like to face my own struggles.I live with a mental illness and chronic pain and found a livable amount of healing through arduous years of medical and psychiatric self-advocacy, surgeries, treatments, procedures, therapy, self-care and lifestyle changes. That journey is the heartbeat of my work: creating art that sparks connection and crafting healthy cocktails that make joy mindful, not heavy.In 2024, I moved to Thailand and began working internationally, traveling to 8 countries in one year. That is when I found the peace I had been searching my entire life for. That sense of purpose after stumbling around for so long trying to find my path.  That global perspective fuels Kemistry Creations. Every design, every cocktail, every project and piece of jewelry or creative work I make blends cultures, wellness, and creativity into one.Kemistry Creations is more than a brand. It’s a reflection of who I am — chemistry in motion:

Art for the mind.

Cocktails for the body.

Connection for the world.
