Thanks for stopping by! I’m Kristy.
As a designer, illustrator, and creative technologist, I work at the intersection of art, education, and digital storytelling. My practice is rooted in thoughtful design, accessibility, and the special magic of helping people learn something new.
This space is a reflection of that work – a place to explore projects, tools, and creative insights shaped by curiosity and the belief that there’s always a better way forward.

I’ve always been drawn to art and storytelling.
From an early age, creativity has been at the center of how I engage with the world – whether through drawing, painting, sculpting, costuming, acting, or writing. I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of expressing ideas visually and shaping stories that resonate.
What began as a creative spark evolved into a purpose: helping others learn, grow, and connect through meaningful,
intentional learning experiences. That journey brought me into the world of education and purposeful design.
Today, I bring that same curiosity and care to every project – blending creativity with strategy to create content that not only looks polished, but delivers meaningful value and experiences to learners and clients alike.
