Who I am

My name is Kristin and I am a 31-year-old born and bred Chicago native from the Near West Side. I’m an aspiring graphic designer driven by creativity, curiosity, and a strong eye for visual storytelling. Through hands-on digital art and graphic design coursework, I’ve developed a solid foundation in design principles and visual communication, and I’m certified in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator (August 2025).

My creative background extends beyond design into photography and drawing, which constantly influence how I approach composition, color, and detail. While I’m at the beginning of my professional journey, I’m passionate about learning, experimenting, and pushing my skills further with every project. This portfolio represents my growth as a designer—and my excitement for what’s next.
