EVERYBODY IS A GENIUS.
But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live it's whole life believing it is stupid.

A woman who loves learning, uses the creative process to make content easy to digest, and believes interactive design and a little bit of fun is the key to keeping knowledge top of mind.
- WHO IS KRYSTEN JUNSTROM?
Yep, you guessed it, I love Jeopardy and have been watching it since I was a kid, so obviously I love growing in knowledge - and random trivia tidbits.
To prove that through some real life experience, I've spent the last 15 years utilizing my skills as a graphic and instructional designer, currently working in Value Based Healthcare and having previously worked for a Dental Service Organization, a virtual curriculum and online learning company, a cyber security company, and a non-profit company focused on cyber crime collaboration.
I build courses, videos, presentations, and training programs, as well as the corresponding materials to go with it. I love a good study guide and infographic, and I love to use themes as much as a I can. For example, today you might be doing some dental learning through the lens of pilot training. Tomorrow you could be completing yearly RACE to compliance training by being part of a pit crew.
Whatever I'm building, I can promise I'm doing my very best to make sure you won't soon forget the content. I truly believe learning can be fun.
Personally Speaking
Me in a nutshell?
I love to travel, documenting my adventures through amateur photography.
My family is an extremely important part of my life, and I work hard so my dogs can have the life they deserve.
Also, caffeine is everything. Specifically, a pour over cup of freshly ground graham cracker coffee.
I'm a “people person,” and I value communication and a persistence in getting to know
the people around me, the people I work with, and those for whom I design. I genuinely love working with a multitude of personalities; I believe it shapes your character and builds your integrity.
Learning isn't one sided. It's multi-faceted and the only way
I can build something great is through collaboration.
