Background
Kristina's love for design was evident from an early age, as she explored creativity, pushed the boundaries of art and design, and challenged standard ways of thinking in the field. After graduating top of her class from the University of Hartford's Hartford Art School, she embarked on her professional journey at Bluespire Marketing as an art director.
Her career then took her to Boston, where she worked at Motiv, a brand and packaging design company. There, she honed her skills and collaborated with high-profile clients, creating designs that resonated with audiences and elevated brand identities.
Kristina's desire to be closer to family brought her back to Connecticut, where she continued to freelance and explored the unique challenges of in-house design at the University of Hartford. Her versatility and creativity shone through as she adapted to different environments and client needs.
In 2019, Kristina joined Fathom as a designer and quickly found her stride, working alongside Dave Louden on various brand and marketing projects. Her identity designs have been instrumental in helping clients tell their stories more effectively and engage their audiences.
In her free time, Kristina loves to connect with nature, explore new destinations, and embrace fresh hobbies and skills. She is passionate about health and fitness, and finds great joy in nurturing her collection of plants. Always eager to say yes to new experiences, Kristina continuously seeks ways to bring creativity and inspiration into every aspect of her life.
Now, at LoudenClear, Kristina is excited to embark on a new adventure, bringing world-class brand and marketing work to relationship-driven businesses and substantial nonprofit organizations across the Northeast.
