Before founding Key Design, she worked as art director for awarding-winning design studios in New York City.

She was also a volunteer at the Children's Museum of Manhattan.

On most weekends, you can find Kristen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is Chairman of Information Desk Weekend Volunteers for the Visitors Services Department at the Met. The "Enrichment Program" is a series Kristen developed that educates volunteers about programs and operations of the Museum in order to better field questions from visitors. And she is also volunteer with the Discoveries Program at the Met, an educational workshop for children and adults with learning and developmental disabilities.
