Hi I am Krissy!

I strive for creating unique design experiences.

 

I find inspiration in nature, pop culture and by diving into different design and art disciplines. I am always hungry to extend my knowledge, to incorporate new techniques and approaches into my design work. I am not one who is crazy about one single design discipline — I like the diversity in design and bringing different disciplines together to create something new.

My design heart beats for creating unique visual experiences — no matter if analog or digital media.

Currently, I am design student in Graz, Austria at FH Joanneum (B.A. Information Design). Before my studies I have had the chance to gather 3 years of professional experience as Creative Design Lead — primarily in the cosmetics and perfume industry.

I truly loved to work in this industry and in package design, but I felt the strong urge to broaden and deepen my design skills — thats why i started with my studies.

At Pam GmbH I was responsible for the company’s creative department. My work spanned from creative conception to art direction, graphic design and product development (manufacturer & supplier scouting, communication between suppliers/clients, approvals, quality checks, etc.). When not working on package designs or coordinating I was also responsible for social media content creation and providing various promotional materials. Thanks to my job position I was also able to attend several packaging fairs, such as Luxepack Monaco, FachPack Nürnberg and Cosmoprof Bologna, to search for the latest trends/innovations and to connect to suppliers.

Besides my studies at FH Joanneum I continued to freelance in the beauty industry as a Creative Designer for two ongoing years, mostly doing illustrations and CGI visualizations for packaging.

In a nutshell, I can bring a lot of knowledge into my internship, especially in the relevant industries of beauty and lifestyle, which I was able to gather in the last years. I would truly love to put all my passion and knowledge together to create creative work as a Brand Designer. 

Throughout my journey I noticed that my design heart absolutely beats for creating creative work for beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands. Especially the focus on the beauty and fashion industries makes the perfect match. In my further career I would like to merge my broad field of interest to create outstanding creative work — which leads me to my aspiration for a career in art direction and brand design.

My competences range from conceptualization, product development & art direction, to delivering final strong visual solutions and experiences — in the fields of print, web and film. My software expertise: Adobe Creative Suite, Cinema4D, zBrush, Blender.

Last but not least: my ultimate goal for now is to land an internship in Brand Design at Aruliden <3
