Hi, I’m Kristina Sustaita. I’m a brand and packaging designer with a BFA in Communication Design. I help clients translate ideas into cohesive identities, packaging, and marketing materials. I also run Kristinas Kookies, a custom sugar cookie business where I design and hand-decorate cookies for weddings and events, blending artistry with practical production. I excel in collaborating with teams, managing high-volume production, and delivering creative solutions that align with clients’ visions. My toolkit includes Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, and I bring leadership, communication, and problem-solving to every project. I’m excited to connect with brands seeking thoughtful design and memorable packaging.
