Hey there! I'm Kristina.
I excel in layout design and branding and am keenly interested in print and publication, packaging, and UX/UI design. These skills allow me to approach each project with a holistic view, crafting visual identities and user experiences that are both strategic and impactful. I strive to blend unique and familiar design elements to create solutions that communicate their core message and leave a memorable impression.
A relaxing day away from the screen is brewing a cup of coffee,
listening to good music, and hanging out with friends.
