It’s great to meet you, I’m Kirsten.
I’m a visual designer with experience creating digital experiences and visual communications across education, research, fintech, healthcare, SaaS, technology, and nonprofit organizations. I create thoughtful designs across web, print, branding, and illustration, guided by UX/UI principles, accessibility, and strong visual storytelling.
I’m collaborative, adaptable, and skilled at translating complex ideas into clear, engaging designs that connect with audiences and support business goals. My experience working across industries has strengthened my ability to quickly understand new audiences, challenges, and design systems.
Fun fact: I designed and built my own app, handling research, testing, branding, and interface design, deepening my passion for inclusive design systems.
Interested in working together? I’d love to hear from you.
A little bit about me when I’m not designing
Art has always been a big part of my life, especially drawing and painting. One of my earliest creative memories is painting a horse as a kid in Tucson, Arizona, and I’ve been creating ever since.
While I often focus on people and expressive portraits, I’ve recently been exploring mixed media and different ways to tell stories through color, texture, and materials. You’ll often find me working with pastels, charcoal, and graphite, while experimenting with watercolor, ink, and acrylic.
Here is some of my recent work:
