Prior to joining the Office of Design and Delivery, Kristin completed an Outreachy internship with Mozilla, where she led the research, user-interface, and experience design of a first-of-its-kind open source QA testing tool. She has also directed the makerspace at an Austin elementary school, where she taught students and educators how to creatively solve problems, test out solutions, and look at failure as an opportunity to improve. She’s also a studio artist with a focus on concept and color, and was an artist in residence with Chashama NYC from 2008 to 2011.
