Kristine has enjoyed working as a designer her entire professional life. She received a B.A. in Art from UCLA and began working with a Beverly Hills interior decorator soon after graduating. Hands on graphics, however, has always been her passion, so when a job opened up in the Berkeley area to work in the art department of Fantasy Records and Fantasy Films, she packed her bags. Under the tutelage of art director Phil Carroll, she honed her skills and eye designing record album covers, film and music posters and marketing materials receiving three awards for her design skills from Art Direction Magazine. For several years she gave up work to raise a family, then returned to a much different, quicker and more flexible world of computer graphics. Helping her husband market his real estate listings helped her define a satisfying niche market in the real estate industry. Working with many Berkeley area agents has allowed her to use all her talents: photography, sketching, layout, and graphic design, to enhance your marketing.
