Illustrator, Designer, Signage Consultant, Speaker & Creator

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS UNIVERSITY CHARTER SCHOOL

In addition to my Ownership and Management of Kristian Design LLC, I have taken on the privilege and tasks of instructing High School Age students in the subjects of Mathematics and Technology.  These students are part of an alternative Charter school program where they live and learn on a protective campus in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  Most of these Students are from broken or abusive homes, or some have no home at all.  At SJRC and partnering with the University of Texas, they can get a jumpstart on life by helping to complete their High School education and prepare them for College, Trade Schools or beyond.  Every Kid Needs a chance, and it's their responsibility to grab hold of that chance and propel themselves to the next stage in life.  I just hope to be a positive influence in that journey.
