Kristin Derby
Buffalo, NY, USAI am interested in creating designs with meaning and a lasting effect. My major involves experimenting with a variety of design fields, but so far I thoroughly enjoy exhibition design, packaging, branding, and book design. I hope to create professional and sustainable solutions to problems once I embark on my professional career.
