HELLO—I’m Kristen, I’ve been making books for over 8 years. I have also been a brand designer and an e-commerce manager.

As an undergraduate at UCLA, I studied Fine Art and Women’s studies. These disciplines largely shaped the way I see and interpret the world and after graduating in 2004, I packed two suitcases and headed for New York. Embracing change and new experiences (hello, seasons!) I fell completely in love with Brooklyn and discovered my most natural passion in design. Later graduating from Parsons School of Design in 2008, I worked in New York City for 14 years.

In both my professional and personal life, I value growth and continually strive to be better. And outside of work, some things I love are: travel, simple pleasures, imperfect pottery, being near water, renewal . . .
