Hi! I’m Kris Rugg (they/them). I’m a creative media professional with 15+ years’ experience leading design and storytelling through print and digital publications, web, social media, videography, and photography. I’m known for crafting visually compelling campaigns that elevate brand identity and connect audiences to mission-driven work. Skilled in creative direction, brand strategy, and production management, I handle all parts of the creative process from concept through delivery. I’m an experienced collaborator who mentors teams and partners to produce cohesive, high-quality design that inspires and engages. 

Check out some examples of my work!
