Kristen Ingebretson has loved books since she learned to read, so it was a dream come true to start working in publishing soon after college. Since 2005 she has been designing and art directing books of all genres, from self-help to fiction, cookbooks to memoir, and everything in between. She was lucky enough to get 13 years of experience at HarperCollins before going out on her own as a freelance designer.

Misty is a professional word nerd with nearly twenty years of publishing experience. She considers herself lucky to have known since she was a kid that wordcraft is her calling. From early childhood writing poems about rainbows and butterflies, through many years of climbing the corporate ladder and learning the traditional publishing ropes at HarperCollins, to this stage of her journey working on the content she loves most, she has always known—words are the path to connection. When she's not making books, she's playing board games with friends, keeping her boy child and her dog child out of trouble, belting made-up songs with her mom, writing poetry, reading tarot, watching sports, or playing video games. She is grateful every day for the opportunity to help others say what they want to say well, to be a part of crafting content that brings people together and leaves the world better than it was before.
