Recommendations

Michelle Tan, Business Director, Asylum Creative, 2023

I have had the pleasure to work with Kristyna since she joined our team in May 2021. As a Design Manager, she leads the creative team, as well as faces the clients. She has shone as an individual who understands the brief and challenges it when needed. She can translate the brief into well-thought-out concepts and design.

She is able to contribute individually, as well as collaboratively with the team, and would be a great asset to any team. Apart from her talent in design, Kristyna is also very efficient and keeps to a timeline, traits which are very important in this industry.

What I admire more about Kristyna is that she is very passionate and willing to share her knowledge with the team. I have no doubt she will fit into any environment/team.

Leonard Lee, Regional Managing and creative director, Wilson Associates Singapore, 2021

Kristyna was under our employment from May 2019 till July 2021, during her time with us she consistently demonstrated outstanding passion, determination, and commitment and was always ready and willing to assist her fellow colleagues. Kristyna will be a tremendous asset to any organization, and I am happy to recommend and vouch for her.
