THIS my PATHWAY to design
Growing up, my parent's library was lined with rows and rows of Communication Arts Magazines. I spent hours flipping through the glossy pages, marinating in cutting edge layouts, built by the best Graphic Designers in the world. Those early years of free artistic exploration motivated me to major in Magazine Journalism, and ultimately, to become a Graphic Designer.
​
After working for many years at a design agency in Orange County, I fell in love, moved to San Diego, and opened my own business in 1999.
Owning X10 Design gave me the opportunity to work one on one with many amazing clients over the years. It also allowed me the flexibility to raise three high energy boys & one fantastic pooch — who currently juggles two important jobs at X10 Design.

It's my job to keep Kristen on her toes! I'm always there for a supportive cuddle or a mid-day-hedge-hog wrestle — to get the creative juices flowing.

When it comes to Kristen's personal safety, nothing gets passed me. I'm top dog, constantly patrolling the property and vetting visitors.

I LOVE PLAYING WITH COLOR
It creates a mood.
It catches people's attention.
And, it sells products.
