— Kyle Anne Colangelo“Kristin did an amazing job helping me with my avatar and thumbnails for my Youtube and twitch profiles! She took my idea and brought it to life! I love what she created, and I highly recommend you to think of her if you are looking for avatars, thumbnails, banners, OBS scenes, etc..”

“Kristin was an absolute joy to work with! From start to finish, she was thoughtful, collaborative, and so easy to communicate with. She kept me updated throughout the process, shared drafts along the way, and genuinely took the time to understand what I envisioned. Seeing the piece come together was such a fun experience, and the final result was even more beautiful than I imagined. I couldn’t be happier with my commission and would absolutely recommend working with Kristin!”
