Seeing information through
an artist's eye.
Kristin's Studio Art background shapes how she observes, interprets, organizes, and communicates ideas.

Before earning her MLIS, Kristin earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from San Francisco State University. Her art education developed skills in visual literacy, composition, observation, creative problem-solving, and communicating ideas through visual form.
That foundation continues to influence how she approaches information, spaces, collections, and the ways people interact with cultural materials.
Reading and interpreting images, objects, form, and visual context.
Approaching challenges with flexibility, experimentation, and imagination.
Understanding balance, hierarchy, presentation, and visual communication.
Noticing details that shape how people experience materials and spaces.
Recognizing the role visual culture plays in identity, memory, and meaning.
Connecting objects and images to ideas, stories, and audiences.
