PURPOSEFUL DESIGN
Being a great designer means taking time to understand marketing in all its forms and uses. In today’s world, it’s essential to transverse across print, digital and web in your design applications. Thankfully, I work in all three mediums – kind of like a nerdy marketing-design savant bundle.
IDEA PARTNER
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re not even sure what it is you need to help your marketing process? It really is okay. Most businesses hit those hurdles, and that’s a perfect time to call in reinforcements. It’s my job to help you figure out what tools will best fit your marketing strategy.
PASSION INCLUDED
I take your marketing goals serious. If it matters to your bottom line – it matters to me. Great design isn't just about beautiful marketing. It's also important to develop a strategic approach to your marketing goals, aligning them with your company's overall business objectives.

Kris Mattern is a consummate professional, with skills that go far beyond design. Her experiences with large and small clients gives her great experience in scaling her ideas up or down. I work for a small nonprofit organization, Missouri River Relief, that has worked with Kris in planning event marketing (for volunteer projects, fundraisers and outdoor boutique events). She makes the difficult seem easy and is skilled at coming up with innovative ideas quickly. She is also a problem solver and such a wonderful people person. We love working with Kris on anything.Steve Schnarr, Executive Director, Missouri River Relief
Kris took the Missouri Master Naturalist training course last year. As part of the training the students are required to plan and complete a "capstone" project to demonstrate their knowledge and ability. Kris decided to focus on Missouri Native plants and their uses. To our pleasant surprise, she created a 24-page publication. It is beautiful, designed for easy reading, and encapsulates an immense amount of research. I would recommend Kris for any graphic design or marketing job!Jim Hinds, Missouri Master Naturalist - Osage Trails Chapter
