Can you share a bit more about your journey as an artist – how you got started to where you are now?

For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawing or painting something, ever since I was a little girl, so it only made sense to pursue a career in the arts. I started as a fine artist and graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. I’ve worked in small design firms, corporate marketing departments, advertising agencies and as a professor in advertising. Now I run my own one-woman design studio.

Designer Spotlight: Kristy Kapturowski of Hooray Creative

What first inspired you to go into designing?
Well, it’s been more of a journey. I was always crafty as a kid and took every art class available to me in high school. I landed in a Fine Arts program in college and majored in illustration. Eventually, I became interested in different mediums and transitioned into taking mostly video and film classes. I was also studying Music performance at the same time, so really, you could say I was exploring all possible options and creative outlets. It wasn’t until after college that I started moving towards design because I thought it would be a more practical application of my abilities – meaning, I needed to figure out how to make a living in the real world! Over time (and several on-the-job learning experiences and grad school courses later), I mastered design software and tackled various projects, dabbling in animation, print, web, UX design, and of course, stationery. 🙂

What first inspired you to pursue graphic design?
I’ve always loved combining type and imagery. When I was a kid, I would spend hours making collages and cutting letters from words in magazines ransom-note style. In fifth grade, my snowy mountain scene illustration was chosen as the cover of our school winter concert program, and I was hooked. But I honestly didn’t know about graphic design as a field – or a career option – until I was almost finished college, so I was a little late to the game in that respect. read more…
