Hi, my name is Kristi.

Rooted in Precision. Built to Deliver.

I am a multi-disciplinary designer, photographer, and content creator with extensive client-side and agency experience crafting visual stories and digital products. My background includes delivering end-to-end user experiences, UX/UI frameworks, and high-impact marketing content for startups, award-winning creative agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. I specialize in stepping seamlessly into fast-paced creative teams as an individual contributor to execute complex projects from concept to final launch.

Having operated deeply across digital branding, e-commerce, and hands-on production, I bring a broad technical toolkit that allows me to bridge gaps between structural product design and conversion-driven content production.

Alongside my design career, my background includes extensive technical operations within the action sports and outdoor industries. As a former sponsored team rider and certified wilderness guide, I combine strict attention to detail with an adaptable, real-world execution style that translates directly to high-stakes project environments.
