Hello! I'm Kristen McHenry, a passionate graphic designer and illustrator with a keen eye for visual storytelling. With over 16 years of hands-on experience in Adobe Creative Suite, UX/UI design, and digital and print media, I’m dedicated to creating designs that are visually captivating and strategically impactful. My expertise spans branding, package design, web design, and more, allowing me to bring versatility, innovation, and precision to every project.
Beyond technical proficiency, I’m fascinated by the psychology behind design, especially how color theory can influence perception and emotion. This insight enables me to create designs that not only catch the eye but also resonate with audiences on a deeper, more meaningful level. With a strong command of tools like Figma, Sketch, and AutoCAD (Autodesk Revit/Inventor), I bring both creativity and structural precision to projects across various platforms.
I draw constant inspiration from history, science, fashion, and photography, all of which inform my design choices and fuel my creative approach. I have a particular love for vintage aesthetics, especially the bold and timeless designs of the 1960s. I enjoy collecting unique packaging that inspires my work. When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me watching classic films, exploring new restaurants or traveling.
I’m excited to bring my expertise, creativity, and distinctive perspective to your projects. Please feel free to explore my resume below for a closer look at my professional journey and accomplishments!
