Hi, I’m Krista. :)

I love working with words and talented people to create meaningful and accessible user experiences.

Within creative agencies like BASIC/DEPT® and Scout Digital, I’ve written everything from long-form articles to microcopy. I love the strategic puzzle of designing the flow of content, then choosing the perfect words to make the complex simple.

Outside of work, you can find me hiking, drawing, and putting my English degree and UX bootcamp knowledge to good use by over-analyzing everything.
