About Me
My name is Kristina Cormier and I come from a very small town. Well, over the last few years it seems to have begun to expand but I will always remember it as a place where nothing ever happens. In some ways I guess that is a good thing? I don’t know. I come from a huge family so family events always keep me busy. I attended a local high school and didn’t really know what I wanted to do until my last year there.
After I graduated from high school, I moved to Kingston where I studied graphic design at St. Lawrence College. I enjoyed my time there very much because of the city and the interesting program. The program made me more aware of good design structure and typography, as well as how much colour combinations impact almost anything. I have always been interested in designing, either in print or on the Web.
Upon graduating from St. Lawrence College, I did a bit of freelance work and became interested in web design. It wasn’t until last year that I decided that I wanted to go back to school and enhance my design skills and learn more about web design. I have just recently graduated from the Web Developer program at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough.
I have always been a creative person. Throughout all of my education, I have always been most interested in the arts. I have created numerous paintings over the years and plan to make many more. I also enjoy reading. My current favourite author is George R.R. Martin. His fantasy world is full of intriguing characters and jaw-dropping plot twists. Another hobby of mine is making jewellery. I have been making beaded jewellery ever since I can remember. If I'm wearing any sort of jewellery, it is usually a piece that I have made with my own two hands. I also have an interest in creating medieval-style jewellery pieces using chain mail patterns. My latest passion has been sewing. Although I’m not greatly skilled at making too many things I have managed to produce numerous purses thus far. I always enjoy learning new creative or crafty skills.
