Hi, I’m Kristina — I help today’s modern brands connect with people in a meaningful way.

As a Creative Director with 10+ years of agency experience, I’ve built my career on the belief that the best creative starts with understanding people - because connection is today’s social currency.

I know how to build teams, mentor creatives, and navigate client relationships with grace and humor, to create powerful award-winning work. My background in both business and art direction means I’m strategic, conceptual, and design-obsessed.

I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the world's most iconic brands, but what sets me apart is my passion for people, forging connections between brands and audiences through compelling creative work.

P.S.

I’m big on passion projects

When I'm not working, you can find me renovating our second fixer-upper, writing about design, illustrating watercolor interiors for clients like Studio Life/Style and Ginny MacDonald Design, and reading my daughters the children's book I wrote and illustrated. I’m a big advocate for reviving the lost art of making things that you’re passionate about ‘just because’.
