Work


I'm a CREATIVE DIRECTOR, SoMe EXPERT and PHOTOGRAPHER with a unique INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE and a passion for USABILITY

Creative work

As an art director I design logotypes, graphic profiles, books, magazines, menus and webs for all kinds of national and international businesses, organisations and NGOs.

I give personality to the corporate identities for companies and organisations like Mum's, Instituto Tecnológico Hotelero, Tasca la Farmacia, Ancestry.se, IFEC, EFC, Hotel Julia and Go Nonna.

I have lead the creative process of revamping the brands and corporate identities for inserts published in Usa Today, the Independent, the Daily Telegraph, Miami Herald, Newsweek and Le Figaro. I also headed the development of custom-made magazines produced for events such as The Global African Investment Summit, The World Islamic Economic Forum, the ASEAN summit, APEC and G20/B20. 

"Kris Kjellgard is an extraordinarily talented professional with a wide range of skills, one of the best I've ever worked with. As creative director at Afa Press/Worldfolio, she managed the design, artwork and layout of scores of newspaper supplements and magazine-length publications, overseeing everything from original concept to final production. She also coordinated advertising sales teams in countries around the world, making sure deadlines were met and client requirements satisfied. 

 

Kris has excellent people skills and takes a solutions-oriented approach to all her work. She would be a major asset to the communications/publications team in any organization, whether a private company, government agency or NGO."
