samsonite | Christina Kofron | NYC Designer

If you saw me on the street, you’d probably think I work in Finance, not Design. That's fine with me. I'm not a pretentious Art Director: I just tell it like it is. My work reflects my approach to life + work. And yeah, I like to do both art + copy.

Also, I don't live in Brooklyn. But if I did, I'd sound like I lived there since before it was trendy to brag about it.

Other facts you probably won't have time to read, but supposedly showcase my personality:

Figure skater (for real)
Foodie
Sitcom-enthusiast
Makeup guru
Queens native (complete with authentic accent; although way more sophisticated than The Nanny)
Sing in the shower
Laugh at my own jokes
Definitely not boring (according to 98.75% of my friends)
