Hi, I’m Kristen
I deliver results by developing an individualized, UX-focused experience centered on collaboration, craftsmanship, and enthusiasm for design. I couldn’t find a kitchen table that fit my needs, so I decided to build it myself. See project case study here.
I bring 8 years of proven experience in visual design, digital marketing, creative solutions, and setting communication and graphic standards for a range of industries including education, arts, and commerce.
Currently working as the Digital Communications Manager at Carnegie Mellon University Scott Institute for Energy Innovation and spending my free time restoring a mid century home. Questions? Contact me.
