Hello
I'm Kirsten (pronounced Kurrsten). I'm a graphic designer and art director living on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. I’ve been fortunate to have lived my life immersed in the beauty of nature. My childhood was spent in Alaska, surrounded by wild and rugged beauty. I’ve lived in British Columbia, Oregon, and the Washington coast, where every day I’m enchanted by the ocean & mountains. These places and their physical beauty significantly inspire my work and passions.
I’ve made it to where I am by embracing every challenge and seeing it as an opportunity to grow. I have an open and curious mind in all areas of creativity and design. I have strong design intuition and thrive on the grit and process it takes to make something that people love.
I love to help tell the stories of the good people and brands that I surround myself with.
Thanks for visiting.
