Bio
LinkedIn User
Krista is a powerhouse of User Experience Design, Strategy and Research knowledge. She is a master at confidently leading Design Thinking and other types of strategy workshops. She is an incredible researcher who is able to quickly learn about a client’s business in order to shape solid strategic approaches, providing a clear path to meet the needs of users and the business. Krista’s design background allows her to take strategic recommendations beyond theoretical, guiding her design team and working successfully with cross-functional teams and clients to bring a strategy to life. Krista is also an extraordinary client partner, business leader, mentor and manager and she always rises to the challenge: meeting new clients and shaping proposals to meet their needs, leading internal training sessions, working with other members of leadership to act on strategic initiatives and providing 1:1 support and coaching for her design team. Krista is a true pleasure to work with and a master at her craft. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.

Krista played a significant role in the design and development of Encoura's new student-facing app. To avoid a word salad of all the things she accomplished in our work together I'll just put my thoughts this way: Krista is an insightful, collaborative, and caring leader who practices design and design management at the top of our field. Her considerable intellectual curiosity and adherence to data-driven decisions readily translates into an ability to delve into any subject matter and provide crucial guidance even in ambiguous circumstances. She is a strong ally to users and the organizations who serve them. I very highly recommend working with Krista.
