Kristie Bloch

I’m a versatile Graphic Designer and Marketing Coordinator who focuses on finding solutions for challenges. I thrive on creatively organizing text and images together to create a seamless, visually appealing and effective design that gets noticed. I have a diverse portfolio spanning print, digital, written and multimedia design projects. I enjoy creating something that didn’t previously exist. I pride myself on my ability to combine text and graphics, making sure they work together by adding hierarchy and ensuring there is a flow in every design with both copy and graphic images.
