Kristen Yang

I’m a visual storyteller who transfers ideas into meaninful user-centered designs. I have seven years of visual, product, and UI/UX design experience, with degrees in Merchandise Product Development from Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and Illustration Surface design from ArtCenter College of Design.

As a passion project, I am a social media savvy influencer managing three accounts with more than 300K followers. I am also a business owner thanks to the success of my dog’s account @winstonwants on TikTok and Instagram.

I’m most confident in my time-management, multi-tasking and problem-solving skills. Coming to Centre for Digital Media, I’m looking forward to expanding my skill sets, especially to develop my leadership skills.
