I am Xavier Xi King, the mind behind XXKool and XXKool Designs. I am a high school Junior and involved in Band, Engineering, and Advanced Placement Classes.
My story begins 3.5 years ago (2014) in my 8th grade school year. When I took Wood Shop class I developed a passion for all kinds wood working. My father and I started working together creatively by the end of that school year. That summer (2015) my family joined a local Farmer’s Market with a wood working craft booth. Our skills developed and evolved to include different crafting mediums. We have continued each year in the Farmer’s Markets.
As we have evolved, we have also grown to include different sales platforms such as ETSY, YouTube, and our own web pages.
Presently I have 2 Etsy web pages. On XXKool.etsy.com the physical items I create are: wood & acrylic writing pens, cutting boards, boho necklaces, honey dippers, spinning tops, & abstract art.
On XXKoolDesigns.etsy.com I offer digital only designs such as Coloring Pages & Coloring Books.
I have several XXKool YouTube channels that show my interests, hobbies, and skills.
Currently the majority of the money I make from my shops and YouTube channels is put back for the Appalachian Trail hike I plan to go on. I plan to start the trail on October 1st 2020, in Georgia when I am 19, but before I leave I need to get $30,000.
