EXPLORE MY WORK

I’m Kristy

CREATIVE, ARTS & COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSIONAL

My career has always lived at the intersection of creativity, communication, and strategy. With a background in business and more than 20 years of experience across arts and culture, creative direction, marketing, communications, design, and project management, I bring both creative vision and practical execution to the work I do.

Today, my work spans gallery management, arts programming, communications, and independent creative projects for universities, nonprofits, cultural organizations, and small businesses. I enjoy bringing ideas to life–from websites and visual identities to exhibitions, campaigns, events, and integrated communications–while managing the people, details, timelines, and resources that make great work possible.

I believe the best creative work is both beautiful and purposeful. Whether I’m helping shape an exhibition, developing a website, building a communications campaign, or collaborating on something entirely new, my goal is to create work that connects with people and serves a meaningful purpose.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, exploring art and the gift of nature, journaling, reading, creating floral arrangements, crafting, and connecting with friends and family.
