Kristen Uroda

Design Lead

she/her

As a design lead, Kristen carries deep expertise in health and human service delivery. She has been a key contributor to the team’s health and human services work in Missouri and Washington state, conducting research and design for the state's benefits application, renewals, and correspondence processes. Now, she’s working to scale the impact nationally. Kristen’s also one of our resident graphic designers, responsible for the visual design of many of Civilla’s biggest projects. 

Kristen earned a master of divinity from Western Theological Seminary, where she focused on institutional systems, global theology, and aesthetics, and a BFA in illustration from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Known around the office as “Super Sleuth,” the team jokes that Kristen knows a little something about everything. Truth be told, she’s still pretty bad at trivia.
