Hello! I appreciate you stopping by. 💜

My name is Kristenne (kri-STEEN) and I am a UX Designer in the SF Bay Area.

I am also known as (AKA):

Mama

Crafter

Organizer

Lifelong Learner

Mental Health Advocate

Through my experiences in the community and education, I've developed a deeply empathetic approach to my work by serving others. I enjoy setting spaces for people to be seen and heard as well as adding a bit of visual delight.

With my background in counseling psychology, I am passionate about the mental wellness of families and am genuinely curious about creating designs that are meaningful to them.

Currently, I am a RISE Scholar with The Mom Project and working on upskilling through Coursera’s Google UX Design course.

When I’m not wondering about creating thoughtful and helpful designs, I DJ dance parties with my kids, collect stationery supplies, and dream about mochi donuts and boba tea.

I am always excited to learn new things and look forward to connecting soon!
