Wild & Painted Places

Kristen Walker, MCDM, BA, is multidisciplinary graphic designer and creative leader with over 15 years of experience transforming complex ideas into clear, compelling visual stories—most recently as the Creative Services Manager for Cottage Health. Her love for creating meaningful, human-centered design is rooted in her core values of family, faith, creativity, and caring for the natural world.

As a new career chapter, Kristen is now pursing her life-long passion for painting, with a goal of capturing the breathtaking beauty of California landscapes in a way that inspires joy and spurs conservation action. Her most recent works feature the strikingly unique landscapes and endemic plants of the Channel Islands.
