Kristin Tingey - Visual Development + Illustrator
"Throughout my work, I enjoy creating alternate worlds to escape to for contemplation, understanding, or comfort. I use storytelling to aid in teaching life lessons with the goal to help people and communities find peace and reach for a positive future. Life is rough, let's do our best to make it beautiful, fun, and safe for our friends, families, loved ones, neighbors, and ourselves."
