About

My name is Kristen, and I’m a digital product designer. I am passionate about creation, be it a website, an app, or a simple Figma component. I love to discover ways to optimize and humanize products. Iteration is my middle name.

Beyond being a designer, I’m an avid gamer, storyteller, nature-lover, cook, runner, wife, amateur ukulele player, and cat guardian. My free time is usually occupied with daydreaming, planning the next session of my P&P RPG, or scouring the internet for new recipes to try my hand at.

I was raised in the Rockies, educated in the Midwest, and drawn to Japan (Morioka, represent!) for three amazing years. Now I’ve settled down in the beautiful hills of Southern Oregon with my fabulous husband and our chonky tuxedo cat, Maximus.

I’m hungry.
