Kristin graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas State University, so apparently she's pretty smart. She's extra-curricular, too, having been Vice President of TSU's student chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Her collegiate graphic designs won awards in the Houston Show and Creative Summit, and a poster she did was chosen for the Southwestern Writers Collection. Since getting degreed, she has interned at some of Austin's finer graphic design studios, and now she brings her scrumtrulescent talent to graphic granola.
You can trace Kristin's stock to Woodstock. Not the festival, but the town itself. What Yippie poet and longtime resident Ed Sanders calls an "American art colony." What Kristin remembers as "an absolutely gorgeous place" that remains a major source of natural inspiration, artistic and otherwise.
As a high schooler, she served on the staff of the Literary Magazine, was Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, and probably did many other erudite things that we haven't heard about yet.
She also spent time working with underserved children at Camp Crystal in Florida. Says she: "I just decided one summer that I wanted to go do something unfamiliar to me that sounded fun and would be helping others out. So I randomly found a really cool camp while surfing the net. I applied and had a phone interview and got hired. I went there late May through August. I was the Arts and Crafts and Gymnastics Class Leader and also helped with Dance and Archery."
She digs the Beatles (yes!), wintry weather (oh well), UT football (really?), etymology ("studying words"), and, of course, "thinking of ways to help the earth" (Oh Kyoto!). She also has a stated liking of cheese, but unlike George Costanza, she does not equate it with some sort of bachelor (or bachelorette) paradise.
