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 10 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 full time as a graphic and web designer. Questions? Contact me.
