My name is Kristina Wayte Bakke  and I have been a creator all my life and currently a UI/UX Designer at Twenty Ideas.

My favorite parts about design are the process and how visuals can create a story. I began my journey at San Jose State University earning a BFA in Animation/Illustration. I was taught that story creates a basis for good design and every decision must be supported by reason. I always keep this message in mind while designing. There's a reason for everything and it's my job to find, validate and utilize product discovery.

To stir up creative thinking and inspiration, I am always working on a side project. These could be sketching journals of my travels, an experimental backpacking app, or sketchy bicycle illustrations. In 2019 I created a short film called My Last Day of Summer  that wove my passion for mountain biking, 2D illustration, animation, motion graphics and film to create an experimental mountain biking film. Since then it’s been in countless festivals worldwide and won the coveted BANFF Mountain Film Festival: Creative Excellence Award.
