After starting technology company Liquid Compass straight out of college (which she sold in 2004), Kristy launched Graphik Creative in order to get back to the fundamentals of what she loves: Being creative. Launching, growing and maintaining brands. Oh, and of course traveling around the world.
Selected as one of eight “Empowered Women” across the US by Salon Magazine and nominated as one of the Denver Business Journal’s Outstanding Business Women of the Year (2014), Kristy is the type who truly gets involved with each client’s business as though it were her own. “When you grow, we grow,” she says. And it’s true – some of Graphik’s largest clients began with them when they were nothing more than a potential name and a few ideas scribbled on a napkin. Several years later, these same clients are still with Graphik… and still growing. Ten years later, the client roster is quite expansive – and impressive – including names like Angry Birds, Internet Brands, Accessory Geeks, Active Fashion Group (Soybu), First Wind, EnviroTech and more.
Under the Graphik Creative umbrella, she also launched six printing companies, allowing customers in various industries to affordably match their website designs with templated business collateral. She is always open to new opportunities and is known for being…honest on her opinion of design.
