Available to hire
Hello, I’m Kristy. A dynamic graphic designer with 15 years of experience and a background in Fashion Marketing from Toronto Metropolitan University. Fashion inspires me daily—it’s my creative outlet and a source of joy. I’m an artist and brand builder at heart, with two personal ventures: SwimHumyn, a children’s swimwear line, and Uniqorn Boho, a fashion upcycling project. As a mother and creative professional, I bring energy, originality, and a deep appreciation for beauty, storytelling, and human connection to everything I do.
