Hello There

I'm Kristine. Nice to meet you!

A little more information

I am a graphic designer with a passion for both print design and website development. I am always eager for more opportunities to apply my skills as well as expand and grow as a designer. What I love most about design is that it is constantly evolving. There are so many ways to look at both traditional and modern media. There is always room for some improvement, so I always welcome feedback. I enjoy working with typography, creating compelling layouts and being involved with branding. I also like being part of strategy development and information architecture. I love what I do – and hopefully my work is proof of that.
