Product Designer +
Creative Operations Leader

​Creative at heart, strategic in approach, and efficient by nature

KristyHeadShot.png

I’m a multi-disciplinary product designer, creative operations leader, and program leader who brings ideas to life through storytelling and systems. With 15+ years across physical and digital products, e-commerce, and marketing, I lead cross-functional teams from concept through delivery, aligning brand, product, and technology to create delightful experiences at scale.

 

My work blends creative vision with operational clarity, helping teams move faster and deliver consistently. I’ve supported $235M in product launches, driven $6.75M in revenue growth, and scaled teams through 400% growth by building simple frameworks, stronger workflows, and AI-enabled ways of working.

Key Strengths:

Creative Execution & Vision: Combining creative vision with execution to deliver innovative design work and products that resonate with audiences, building brand loyalty and driving revenue growth.

Team Leadership: Leading by example with a coaching mindset, upskilling and mentoring teams, building trust, and empowering diverse groups to achieve their best.

 

Operational Optimization: Driving efficiency across high-volume creative programs through scalable systems, streamlined workflows, and innovative tooling. Equally comfortable defining systems and executing within them, partnering closely with teams to move work forward day to day.

 

Cross-Industry Expertise: Proven ability to operate across distinct industries and product contexts, adapting strategy and execution to deliver impact across physical products, digital products, e-commerce, and marketing experiences.

Collaborative Environment: Creating inclusive collaboration by centering shared purpose, welcoming diverse perspectives, and aligning teams around the “why” before the “how” to deliver exceptional creative outcomes.
