Hello! I'm Kristen. I want to see as much of the world as possible, and I'm currently enjoying a working holiday/belated honeymoon in New Zealand.

I grew up in West Texas (Midland of Nowhere), moved to Providence for college, and spent a semester abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland where I returned after college for a few months. I have been living with my husband Sam in Texas, but we are packing up our things to travel for a year or so before "settling down." First stop: New Zealand. After that, who knows?

I studied illustration and printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design and I love to draw and make prints. I've been working as a (mostly) self taught graphic designer for 3 years. If I had unlimited funds, I would go back to school and earn degrees in jewelry making, sculpture, glass blowing, painting, textiles, & photography. My current objectives are to learn sewing and metalsmithing and to improve my cooking & baking skills.

I find inspiration everywhere, and I will be sharing some of it here.
