About Me

Hey, I’m Kristine!

UX/UI Designer · Graphic Designer · Marketing Tech

I love making things that are easy to use and good to look at. So far that has meant everything from a paint app for homeowners and contractors to a board game that gets parents and teens talking about social media, with research, wireframes, prototypes, branding and responsive interfaces along the way. I'm looking for a team where I can work across UI/UX, web and visual design, on products that matter to the people who use them.

Outside of design, you'll find me with a book, a video game or a puzzle. Escape rooms are a favorite. I'll take anything that keeps me thinking!
