Editor, Writer, Graphic Designer

Who Am I?

20+ years of experience in print and digital journalism — editing, writing, design, UX, and strategy. Detail-oriented. Innately curious and collaborative. Find me on LinkedIn.

I’m passionate about #storytelling, #mentalhealth, #neurodiversity, #theplanet, #gooddesign and making people laugh. When I'm not working, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, watching hockey or making up voices for my dog. I also have a part-time, unpaid gig watering many, many plants in my Xanax of a sunroom.

Recommendations

"Kris is a rare employee: She can be nose-to-the-grindstone cranking out work one minute and take a step back to thoughtfully put together a two-year plan the next. She has a great grasp of print media and is becoming an expert in social media. I recommend her without reservation."

—Rick Wamre, President, Advocate Media

"Kris is a smart, creative problem-solver who can handle a huge workload independently and with impressive results. As a designer, she's a communicator, not a decorator; she understands content and knows how to use visual techniques to inform as well as entertain. As a coworker, she's both team player and standout. Her talent, energy and sense of humor made the Rocky Mountain News a better place. If I had the chance, I'd hire her again in an instant."

—Kathy Bogan, Rocky Mountain News
