About KristenHi, I’m Kristen—a graphic designer and hand lettering artist based in Atlanta, Georgia. I live here with my husband Jon-Michael and our two little ones, Sebastian and Juniper, who keep life full, loud, and chaotic in the sweetest way.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Georgia and officially launched my freelance business in 2010. What started as a love for thoughtful typography and beautiful visuals has grown into a career built around creating work that feels warm, intentional, and timeless. I’m especially drawn to organic design elements -hand lettering, watercolor textures, and anything that feels a little imperfect in the best way.
I believe good design should feel approachable and meaningful, not overly polished or generic. Whether I’m working on a brand, a custom illustration, or hand-lettered details, my goal is always the same: to create something that feels true to the person or story behind it.
When I’m not designing, you can usually find me in the garden, chasing my kids around, or snuggled up with a cat—sometimes all in the same hour. I’m endlessly inspired by everyday life and the quiet beauty you notice when you take a moment to slow down.
