WELCOME
I am Michelle Kincaid
Ivy League–educated, Northern California-based, and endlessly curious.
I write about AI, creativity, culture, and whatever ideas refuse to leave me alone.
Sometimes that turns into books.
Sometimes it turns into projects.
Sometimes it turns into a tiny frog named Coquí Chiqui who somehow ends up teaching colors in two languages.
You’ll find a mix of things here—stories, prompts, experiments, and the occasional idea that probably shouldn’t work… but does.
I’m motivated by a few things:
what makes people think, what sparks curiosity, and how to set better boundaries…
and, occasionally, how to crash right through them when something feels worth it.
This site isn’t a portfolio. It’s more like a playground.
Click around. Stay as long as you like.
Featured Quotes
Intro to Brand
Michelle Kincaid creates books, stories, videos, and ideas that bring together creativity, curiosity, and just enough technology to make things interesting.
She’s constantly inspired to create new things—sometimes books, sometimes songs, sometimes projects that start as a simple idea and turn into something more.
Along the way, she works with talented, real-world creatives to bring these ideas to life, while also learning illustration and design herself—sometimes with a little help from AI. She’s actively refining the details and consistency that bring everything together, one project at a time.
Her work is designed to help people think differently, connect more, and have a little fun along the way… with the occasional bit of gentle mischief.
Characters
(Stewart, Sleek & Poof, Drew & Lucy)
Meet a growing cast of playful, curious, and occasionally mischievous characters designed to spark imagination and connection. From Coquí Chiqui, a bilingual frog who gets kids moving (and possibly stuck singing), to Sleek and Poof, one genius and one beautiful idiot navigating life together, each character brings humor, heart, and personality. These aren’t just characters—they’re companions in creativity, helping kids explore language, emotions, and the world around them… sometimes with a little chaos along the way.
Activity books
(Spring, Holiday, etc.))
A collection of creative, family-friendly activity books designed to turn everyday moments into something a little more memorable. Blending imagination, movement, cultural exploration, and simple hands-on fun, these books help families connect without overcomplicating things. Some activities take minutes. Some invite a mess. All are built around one idea: connection over perfection… with just enough structure to keep things from completely falling apart.
Journals
Thoughtful, guided journals that help kids explore who they are without making it feel like homework. Through simple prompts and reflection, these journals create space for expression, confidence, and a little self-discovery along the way. Whether it’s understanding feelings, imagining the future, or just getting thoughts out of their head and onto paper, each page is designed to feel approachable, encouraging, and real.
