Hi there! I’m Kristen.

Selected work

Current workflows

Enterprise level UX

It’s not just a nice to have element. I’ll develop cost models, timeframes, and SOPs to deliver ready to implement elements of UX for any product. It helps the enterprise and the user. It’s a win-win.

Workshops and speaking

Snacks, the right people in the room, and proper time management is all I need to dig into problems and facilitate successful workshop outcomes. I speak about my craft from time to time too.
