About Me
Hi, I'm Kristina and I'm a graphic designer living in Portland, Oregon. For the past five years I worked as a production designer at Smart Meetings Magazine where I was part of a fantastic production team that helped win our magazine two Maggie awards last year. In addition, I also provided much of the marketing graphics for the company, both in print and digital.
For me, design combines the joy of creating something beautiful while solving a puzzle. It's about putting elements together in the most pleasing yet efficient way.
It excites my brain. It ignites my soul.
I love design that is minimal but fun.
I love when my work makes a difference in someone's life.
I love being able to use my passion to help someone drive their business.
Besides design, I also enjoy photography, ceramics and a capella singing.
Recently, I left the awesome but expensive San Francisco Bay area and moved to beautiful Portland with my husband, toddler and cat to start a new adventure and hopefully find the place to raise our family. I am available for hire and would love to share my passion with you. Feel free to check out my resume or send me an email.
