Self Portrait, June 2021

 

"Kristina is amazing. She listens and then adds her touches to the projects to create quality, exciting, material. I have worked with many designers and Kristina is by far the easiest to work with... I highly recommend her services."
- Gina M.



"The Eyecatcher" was the name of a line of dress shops owned by my grandmother, the late Nancy Peterson, which brought LA style to El Paso, Texas from 1969 - 1990. Although she passed away shortly after my birth, I am proud to pay homage to Nancy & "The Eyecatcher" through the “Eyecatcher” name.


I was born and raised in the West Texas desert city of El Paso, and uprooted to Southern California in 2007 to fulfill my dream of living by the ocean. I credit my 18 years on the border and Mexican roots for my bilingualism as well as socio-political beliefs.

In 2013 I relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and spent 6 years as a Professional Faerie with Happily Ever Laughter, all the while cultivating a graphic design business. I've fallen in love with the vibrant culture of the East Bay for its access to nature, progressive culture, and massive support for small business and independent art.

When not in front of a computer, I enjoy costuming and crafting, witnessing art, and my newest love... playing the harp with Great Highway and Moonlust.
