About
I am a creative & energetic fashion designer living New York City.
I have a background in graphic design and illustration.
Hi I'm Kristi.
I studied in the one year program at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in 2016-17 and graduated Cum Laude. I spent an amazing summer interning with cutting edge fashion label Chromat, and constructed pieces featured on the runway for New York Fashion Week this September.
I have 10 years experience in graphic, print, web, and app design, which gives me a unique background in the fashion industry. My skills in Photoshop and Illustrator are next to none.
Currently I'm dipping my toe into a few areas of fashion and costuming in NYC to see what is the best fit for me, with a focus on apparel design.

“[Kristi] is one of the most passionate people I have ever worked with, giving it her all on every project and design she worked on. She is always positive and willing to put in the extra effort to make sure something is done well and meets or exceeds expectations. She takes feedback extremely well, better than most, if not all, of the other designers I have worked with. ”
Here's what people are saying about my work:
"Kristi is hands-down the most creative person I know. She has the ability to think outside the box [to develop] an original idea into a masterpiece before deadline and with what appears to be no effort at all."
"She is a triple communications threat: she has phenomenal graphic design skills, unsurpassed creativity, and a great command of social media marketing."
"[Kristi] has a unique ability to conceptualize user experience and incorporate design elements that are both eye-catching and functional."
"She's hardworking, organized, talented, creative, and when you add her wonderful personality to the list, it's the perfect combination for a spectacular employee."
"Kristi is that rarest of marketing professionals who commands both knowledge of the business side of marketing as well as the technical skills needed to create stunning materials."
"If I had the chance, I would hire Kristi again to be a lead designer or a creative director on any web, mobile, print, advertising, photography or creative project."
