Artist & Founder

Kirsten Hurlbut

At Pointed Positivity, we believe needlepoint is more than just a craft—it’s a way to slow down, unwind, and add a little joy to every day. I’m Kirsten Hurlbut, a nurse practitioner who fell in love with needlepoint and its calming effect. I quickly noticed its benefits for mental health and wanted to incorporate that same sense of peace and positivity into my designs.

Inspired by my love of the ocean, passion for health, travel, and classic style, Pointed Positivity offers hand-painted canvases that blend encouragement, humor, and timeless style. Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or picking up a needle for the first time, I hope these designs bring you the same joy and relaxation that needlepoint brings me.

Thank you for being here—I can’t wait to see what you create!

When I'm not styling and directing, I provide creative consulting for luxury fashion brands across the globe. My travels have inspired my first book project, a coffee table book featuring street photography of the most fashionable people waiting for public transit.
