Kirsten Malinowski

I’m a Visual UX Designer with a knack for creating optimized experiences that make consumers (and myself) feel good.

Quick note

For me, working with other designers is about collaboration and the ability to respectively challenge one another. It's a way to create memorable user experiences, continuously grow, and impact the larger design community.

I invite you to learn more about myself and view my work. But before you do, I must note that due to client confidentiality a majority of the work in my portfolio is password protected. Reach out to say hello and gain access.

Experience

While my path and skillset are uniquely broader than most, I pride myself in the ability to adapt to my ever-changing environment and continue to teach myself what is necessary to create beautiful, interactive experiences.
