Hi, I'm Kristen.
You might say I'm a bit of a geek. I've been using a computer since I was 18 months old. I could probably list a dozen places where I've had websites hosted. Name a blogging service and I've probably hosted a blog there, although at the moment my heart belongs to WordPress. It's definitely a love/hate relationship.
I enjoy designing graphics and websites, and I'm good at finding the perfect font for any occasion. I'm also an avid fan of social media; in fact, I wish Facebook would bring back the "Member Since" profile field (remember that?). Editing comes naturally to me and I'm a bit of a grammar nazi.
Browse through the items in my portfolio and see what I can do for you.

TEDxMonterey Print Materials
I created flyers, programs, and a large hanging sign for the TEDxMonterey event. I created these items using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. I also assisted in the creation of the TEDxMonterey website, social media presences, and slidedeck. Photo courtesy of the talented Ryan Gonzalez.

Beauty Ink
This small graphic was created using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. It exercises my knowledge of effective typography as well as consistent design: the graphic is entirely styled in black and white, using only the color red for emphasis.

Map of Michigan
This map was drawn using Adobe Illustrator. It demonstrates the importance of accuracy when making maps and my ability to use outside resources such as Google Earth and Google Maps.
