Hi there-I’m Kristen
A multidisciplinary designer who strives to create empathetic designs in both the physical and digital environment. Born and raised in Hawaii, I moved to the mainland in 2015 to pursue new design opportunities.
Over the years, I’ve gained both academic and professional skills as an architect and product designer. These experiences have helped me form a holistic, user- centered and compassionate approach when making design decisions.
Currently based in Berkeley, California you can find me creating multimedia digital art, out in the city photographing portraits or hiking  in the dense wilderness.
