Meet the
onjour. I‘m Kristen Polsinelli, the designer behind
,a
design studio and online shop. My career started when I stumbled
into a design position for a boutique hotel, restaurant and wine shop
in Normandy, France. My role evolved into Creative Director and
inspired me to start a design business and art shop. Take a look into
my life as a designer.

WHERE DID YOU study?
I went to the University of Georgia
from 2007-2011 and graduated
with a B.A. in Spanish. I studied
at Universitat de Valencia in
Valencia, Spain for a semester in
2010 – it was this experience that
sparked the journey to finding
my career path.
how many languages do
you speak?
I’m American, so I’m a native
English speaker. I speak (rusty)
Spanish. And I’m almost fluent
in French – I have lived in France
since 2011.
