HI, I’M KIRSTEN!

Having been drawing since I could hold a pencil, art is at the forefront of everything I do. Whether it’s designing meaningful digital experiences, crafting my undergraduate experience, curating my wardrobe, illustrating my cookbook, or making my first apartment my artistic sanctuary, my love for details has amplified my voice through every project I’ve taken on.

I initially began my undergraduate program taking business classes, where I vividly remember sitting in a financial accounting class thinking to myself, “Why would I want to learn how to manually crunch the numbers, when I could be the person creating the product for the numbers to be crunched?” I realized that to be the most fulfilled, I had to be creating something new.

As a graduate of NYU Gallatin, I’ve been able to design an educational experience for myself specific to my intersectional interests of technology, strategy, and design with my concentration in Human-Computer Interaction. Through both my education and professional experiences, I've examined technology as an extension and reflection of the human experience, where I’ve been able to create human-centric products that drive meaningful business outcomes.
