Welcome to Bonovum Creative

Hello there!

Nice to meet you.

Kristin Humble

Digital Designer/Developer/Marketer

I’m a digital “Jill-of-all-trades” who currently lives in weird, wonderful Covington, Kentucky, part of greater Cincinnati. Deeply involved in technology and internet culture, I’ve led companies in various digital marketing efforts. Educated as a graphic designer, I taught myself to code and found a love of blending thoughtful design with the underlying logical structure of programming. I never say “that's not possible,” just “let me figure it out and get back to you.”


So what’s a “Bonovum”?

Bonovum, a portmanteau of the Latin bonum for “good” and ovum for “egg,” literally means “good egg.” To quote Ma & Pa Humble: “ You’re a pretty good egg, aren’t ya?” I could think of no better name for my enterprise, the idea for which has slowly incubated for several years. Both a personal moniker and a tribute to the unwavering support of my parents, Bonovum Creative seeks to hatch only the best ideas. Besides, anyone can slap the word “design” after their name, but where’s the creativity in that?
