Kristine Balog is a true polymath.

She’s a professor, author, sculptor, painter, and soap maker.

She has had two books traditionally published, written, drawn, and self-published several comic books, and been published academically by Stanford University.

In 2019, Kristine ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for the release of her original fantasy board game, Alchemental. She is currently working on an original tarot deck she hopes to release by the end of the year. 

Kristine's soaps are vegan, organic, ethically sourced, and come in a range of styles, including scrubs, bath potions, bath essentials, lotion bars, and her absolute favorite, whipped soap. 

She loves tiny things and has taken up sculpting as a new hobby. What does she sculpt? You guessed it... teeny, tiny things like Ramen bowls. 

Her products are meant for both spiritual and physical healing and promotion of deeper connections with one’s self. She hopes they inspire and encourage each individual to dream big and pursue those dreams with passion.
