Hi, nice to meet you!

My name is Kristen Granieri (she/her) and I'm a Visual & Product Designer who specializes in design systems and digital accessibility.

I'm currently working at the University of Florida developing the university's premier design system, promoting inclusive digital spaces, mentoring student interns, and creating a more efficient and delightful end-to-end process for clients.

About me

A headshot of Kristen smiling. She has brown and purple curly hair and is standing in front of a bright pink azalea bush.
After graduating from the University of Florida, I spent four years living abroad in Hiroshima, Japan. During this time, I taught English at a high school, studied design and development in my spare moments, and explored new places whenever possible. It was during my stay in Japan that I rediscovered my passion for creativity and technology, ultimately leading me to pursue UX and visual design. As a former teacher and perpetual learner, I continuously seek opportunities to evolve both as a designer and as an individual.

My Design Values

  • Design for everyoneDigital accessibility should be a priority and not an afterthought. When we design with inclusivity in mind, everyone wins.  
  • Every single pixel mattersI'm passionate about what I do, so I take a lot of pride in my work. It's always worthwhile to put forth the extra effort to be precise and organized, and I find a lot of joy in doing so as well!
  • It's not enough to follow your gutAs much as I want to trust my design intuition, I'm aware that it alone cannot support design decisions. Data and research are the most important considerations when making decisions during the design process.

Let's get in touch!
