Meet Krissy Calbert

I’m a multidisciplinary creative with over 12 years of experience in graphic design, photography, videography, editing, and digital marketing. Based in Chicago, I’ve built my career at the intersection of art, storytelling, and strategy. I help brands and individuals craft powerful narratives through visual media that feel as good as they look.

What sets me apart is my ability to be a one-stop media studio: I don’t just design or shoot; I build entire creative ecosystems from visual identity and content calendars to polished videos and full-scale marketing campaigns.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Media, and Theatre from Northeastern Illinois University, and I previously studied Graphic Design at the University of Minnesota for 2.5 years. My academic background reflects both sides of my creative process: design precision and media fluency. Combined with hands-on experience in marketing management and hospitality branding, I bring a holistic understanding of how visuals connect to strategy, audience, and emotion.

My work focuses on creating cohesive, story-driven visuals that capture a brand’s personality.

Studio Calbert is where I merge all the things I love, design, film, fashion, and storytelling, into one place.
