KRISTINE WALKER, CREATIVE CHAMELEON

Kristine Walker is Melbourne based, creative professional with a background in performing arts and experience working in the fashion, design, arts and entertainment industries.

“I love a creative challenge and thinking outside of the circle. I thrive on multitasking, so I enjoy working on a variety of projects across different creative industries."

BACKGROUND

Growing up in a world filled with ballet, performance and costume, it's no surprise that Kristine gravitated towards a creative career.

“When I was young, my dad told me that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. Always one to believe anything was possible, I told him that I wanted to be a Princess… and a Zookeeper, a Pilot, an Actress and a Lawyer. Clearly, I was never going to choose a ‘normal’ career…although I did try.”

Kristine never thought that her enduring love of fashion and costumes would lead to a creative career but after several years working in what many considered ‘real jobs', she was offered a number of creative opportunities that resulted in her becoming the creative chameleon (with a ‘serious’ business background) that she is today.
