New High Score!! ...What's that mean? ...Did I break it?

Hi. I’m Krista Sanders, a design strategist and user experience pro. I have more than 10 years experience in graphics and user experience planning and strategy. Currently, I spend my days employed as Creative Director at Stone Cobra where I head up the marketing and UX design for our products.

As an entrepreneurial-minded design junkie, I like taking on design challenges that push me to redefine my creative edge, and actively seek out like-minded colleagues. Over the years, I have racked up experience points in online and mobile interaction design, system design, video, print, and I love running around with my camera pretending to know what I’m doing. Energizing my work is a relentless passion for making things useful and simple, a determined spirit, and a commitment to bold, courageous, unbound thinking.
