Nice to meet you. I’m Kristin. 🌈

I have over 15 years of design experience, with the last 5 focused on product design. As Senior UI Designer for Oak Street Health, I partner with care teams and patients to design and enhance our value-based care EMR and simplify the healthcare experience for everyone.

Previously, I’ve collaborated with clients like SVEDKA, UMass Amherst, Meiomi, Wyndham, ConvenientMD, BIC, and Cooper’s Hawk to create distinct branding, improve web experiences, and deliver a wide range of design solutions — including digital products, print and packaging systems, branding, and integrated marketing campaigns.

I am especially passionate about health, wellness, and fitness; it's my goal to help humans gain access to these areas as easily as possible and enjoy their time doing it.

My superpower is…

Problem-solving! I love thinking through multiple solutions to complex problems.

My weakness is…

Public speaking.

My favorite Figma tool is…

Cursor chat.

If I had a job that wasn’t in design, I would be…

Either a fitness and nutrition coach who works with women and girls, or running a bookstore / library.

I’m always down to discuss...

Star Trek 🖖 and The Murderbot Diaries 🤖

My favorite snack is…

Depending on the day, I’m either reaching for something with cheese, or I’m going for dark chocolate.

My favorite part of the design process is…

Brainstorming a bunch of visual solutions!

I can’t work without…

An ergonomic chair and some great playlists.

If I could be besties with any one fictional character, I would choose…

Captain Kathryn Janeway, USS Voyager.

My working style is…

Detail-oriented. I am observant, strategic, and organized. While I enjoy working collaboratively, I first need focus time where I can independently and methodically wrap my head around a problem.

Introvert or extrovert?

100% introvert.

Come see me if you need help with...

Design systems, UI patterns, branding, workout questions, or great book recommendations.

A few of my favorite authors are…

Martha Wells, Adrian Tchaikovsky, VE Schwab, Tasha Suri, SA Chakraborty, Evan Winter, P Djèlí Clark, Fonda Lee, Becky Chambers, RF Kuang.

In my spare time, I enjoy…

Running, olympic weightlifting and powerlifting, reading SFF books, watching Star Trek, and trying to perfect my espresso shot. ☕️

My coffee drink of choice is…

Cold brew.
