Kristin McILvenna

In addition to my degrees from University of Oregon and Lewis Clark State College, I have run and owned several businesses prior to my enrollment in the Graphic Design program here in Coeur d'Alene in which I am presently enrolled.

Currently I am serving as Board Vice Chair for the Coeur d'Alene Art Alliance, and as Corresponding Secretary for the local philanthropy organization, P.E.O.

Additionally I am serving as an Ambassodor for N.I.C. in the Advising office, as well.

I have been previously on the board for the Convention and Visitor's Bureau in Coeur d'ALene, and also on a board for St. Vincent de Paul's homeless shelter, and another board position for their Art on the Edge Program that serves latchkey children.

Women in Graphic Design

I would like to be working as an illustrator, a publisher, and a videographer for documentary film.

I have a broad range of experience and am a good listener and interviewer.

I enjoy the process of branding and design and feel that I have a more mature sensibility to design that has enduring qualities.

I am able to perceive the actual identity of an organization or an individual and can speak to that because of my experience in businesses that were highly people-centric.
