During her undergraduate studies in Integrated Design at the Dessau Department of Design, formerly Bauhaus, Kristin placed her priorities in Media and Information Design. She developed a special interest in the combination of these two areas to the issue of “Interactive Information Design.” This was motivation for further research in her bachelor thesis, which she wrote on the topic of: “How could the interactive future of daily newspapers look like.”

After the Bachelor degree Kristin worked as freelance designer. Lately she was involved in building the multimedia exhibition for the museum in Bautzen. She created the Interface for 21 touch screens with video and audio content, as well as searchable historic information.
