ABOUT

I’m Kristin Phatthong, a graphic designer and photographer based out of Dallas - Fort Worth, Texas. With wanderlust fever, I am also available worldwide/remote work.

After graduating from high school, I enlisted in the Air National Guard and have been a proud member/combat veteran serving my country for the past 15+ years. In 2012, I served my first deployment in Bagram, Afghanistan. In 2015, I graduated from the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith (UAFS) with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design and an Associate in Business Administration from the Community College of the Air Force.
