Here’s our story…
Hi! I’m Kristen, the founder of Polished & Refined. This company was born from a clear gap I noticed in the entrepreneurial and small business landscape—a need for cohesive, high-quality branding and design.
For over 15 years, I’ve successfully run my own photography business, Kristen Marie Weddings & Portraits. Before that, I honed my expertise in corporate marketing, design and branding with several high-profile companies. As an entrepreneur, I leveraged my design skills to create compelling marketing materials that elevated my small business. Along the way, I realized that many of my peers were struggling with their branding and graphic design needs, unsure of how to achieve the consistency and professionalism they desired in both their printed materials and digital presence.
That’s when it hit me… I had the perfect skill set to help fellow entrepreneurs and small businesses polish and refine their brands! And that’s what I’m here to do: help you achieve your business dreams by elevating your brand to its fullest potential.
When I’m not designing, I’m spending time with the three loves of my life: my husband, our beautiful daughter and our sweet little boy. My husband and I are avid travelers and also love trying the newest restaurants in town, sipping on fancy cocktails and visiting wineries (we even got married at one)! But we’re also just as happy ordering a pepperoni pizza and watching Netflix on the couch after the kids go to bed. We love doing life together, however it comes.
I would genuinely love to be a small part of your own story and success as well! Let me show you how to take your business identity to the next level. If you’re interested in learning about what I can do for you, use the link below to schedule a free 15-minute intro call.
