About this site, and a little about me
My name is Krystyn Heide. I love jukeboxes, curly braces, handclaps, comically false eyelashes, vespas, somersaults, spook show movies, and random acts of kindness.
I love designing and sometimes I can't believe I get paid for it.
I'm Senior Product Designer at Squarespace, the best web publishing platform on the planet. I started my career as an Art Director at a major ad agency, where I developed a love for design annuals, paper swatches and the high you get from press checks. Raised by an architectural engineer and an early IBM-er, it wasn't any surprise when I fell hard for web design. In the past decade, I've had the opportunity to create web experiences for major brands, non-profits, new media companies and noteworthy clients.
I also started a little hope revolution, which was recently featured in Kirtsy's "Best of" book. I'd love for you to join us.
