about me
Hi, I’m Kristen!

I’m a fourth-year graphic design student at Purchase College. Originally from Rochester, New York, I’ve been a creative person my whole life. An early fascination with letterforms developed into my love for graphic design. 
    After graduating from high school, I studied at Parsons School of Design for 2 years. There, I discovered a love for creating and binding books. I studied alongside passionate designers as we dove into typography and web development.
    In 2024, I moved out of the city to complete my BFA at Purchase College. Here, I have realized my passion for editorial and print design. I am designing for two school magazines while I finish my degree: The Beat and Submissions Magazine. 
    I am currently working on my thesis project, exploring joy as strength and resistance under the patriarchy. 
    If I’m not designing, you can find me outside hiking or cozying up to crochet.
