Hi, I'm Kristen!

I'm a multidisciplinary designer based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. I've been in the professional design world for 5 years. Having graduated with a Media Communications degree and Art minor from Appalachian State, I am always looking for ways to grow and learn in the design field. I have worked as the sole creator on a variety of projects from designing locker rooms, apparel, ad campaigns, to branding, websites, and more. I currently work as a designer for a marketing group in Raleigh and enjoy doing freelance projects in my spare time as well.

In addition to the graphics industry I enjoy creating art that can sit on shelves, walls, and that people can hold. Sculpting, painting, and drawing are true joys of mine in addition to the pixels I get to create.
