Hey there, I'm Kristen
Curiosity drives my creativity, pushing me to explore new ideas, experiment with fresh techniques, and grow as both an artist and designer.
When I step away from the screen, you’ll find me outdoors, immersed in nature or ears deep in my latest musical obsession.
Education
Where did I go to school?
I graduated from Endicott College with a bachelor's degree in Visual Communications and concentration in Graphic Design.
Career
What professional work experience do I have?
As a collaborative, concept-driven designer, I craft engaging experiences that come to life from initial idea to final execution. With over 10 years of experience, I’ve spent my career in digital advertising agencies specializing in branding, web design, and enrollment marketing. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of clients, including Rice University, Stanley Black & Decker, Gustavus Adolphus College, the University of Massachusetts Boston, the University of Chicago Medicine, University College London, Nova Southeastern University of Florida, and Endeavor Health.
Skills & Expertise
What are my specific design strengths?
I bring strong technical knowledge and expertise in web design, working primarily in Figma. I’m proficient across the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite, with frequent use of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects. I have a keen interest in motion graphics and enjoy animating small elements of my designs to bring them to life. While my strengths as a designer are rooted in digital design, I also have experience across a wide range of print collateral, including direct mail, viewbooks, event booths, apparel, and more.
Character
What do my peers say about me?
Three words I often hear when others are asked to describe or review my work are: creative, curious, and fearless.
Influence
Who or what inspires me?
I am infinitely inspired by nature, music, science, art; the list goes on. I can honestly say whatever I choose to surround myself with becomes a source of inspiration for the work I create.
Legacy
What mark will I leave on the world?
I believe creativity is the purest form of human expression, a force that transcends profession or background. My purpose is to ignite creative expression in others and challenge the notion that creativity belongs only to artists and designers. I strive to help others embrace their own imaginative spirit and recognize it isn’t about the final product, it’s about the fearlessness, curiosity, and heart we bring to the process. I want to remind people that the power to create has always been within them, waiting to be discovered.
