You can call me kk.
And you can still call me Kristina, [but I rebranded years ago]. My full name is Kristina Krkljus. Pronounced (Kirk-lus).
As a Creative Director with almost 20 years of experience in art direction and brand development, I specialize in transforming strategic goals into memorable and effective creative executions. My driving passion is the pursuit of the "big idea"—the core human insight that powers compelling work.
I thrive on creating content with a pulse, whether it's through humor that entertains, poignant narratives that resonate deeply, or authentic stories that connect on a human level. This approach has been central to my work in the non-profit and social impact sectors, where I believe creativity has the power to drive meaningful change.
Most recently, I have been applying my strategic and creative expertise to new challenges within the tech industry.
I’m first generation Serbian, was 6th in the state of Florida for wrestling, starred in an abstinence commercial in 2002 and was on a dumb reality show I won’t tell you about. There’s so much more so just drop me a line and find out.
I was also honored in Luerzers Archive for "Who's Who," and Forbes '30 Under 30' when i was under 30 of course and when my eyebrows were really thin.
Other things I love
Learning how to oil paint (if you know how please reach out and teach me some things), music of all kinds, vintage clothing, dancing, and my awesome velveteen piglet-dog, Shank.
