About
I'm Kristin Hardy, a graphic designer in Austin, Texas, and I design things. Lots of things!
I consider myself to be extremely fortunate because my work entails doing what I love. I've been interested in art for as long as I can remember, and went on to get my degree in graphic design with a minor in marketing from San Diego State University. As a result, I view projects through both a creative and business lens, giving you a designer who is the best of both worlds. Who doesn't want something that looks great and increases your ROI?
My acclaim started in 4th grade when I won 1st place at the annual Snowflake contest at the Scripps's Birch Aquarium for my groundbreaking snowflake cut from foil. It has been nice to receive other notoriety including my art deco inspired concept for trash and recycle bins implemented on El Cajon Blvd as part of their renovations; my "Selfie Station" for The Glorietta Bay featured on Forbes.com; winning a Press Club award for editorial design; and most recently, my work on the brand refresh for global spine company, NuVasive.
Additionally, the scope of my design projects has given me a background in everything from the branding of small businesses to global events. I also enjoy retail design, product photography, and illustration.
If you need new branding or a brand refresh, a boost to your business' promotional materials, product photography, or just want to say "hello", get in touch! Please note, I am retired from the snowflake business at this time.
