Kristina Parella

With over 20 years of professional experience, Kristina has been involved in the design and production of numerous magazines throughout the years. She has extensive fine art training from studio art in high school throughout her college career where she studied all aspects of fine art and graphic design.  She obtained a degree in Visual Communications in 2005. Her creativity is shown not only through her graphic design but also in her hobbies such as drawing, painting, photography, and culinary arts which she enjoys in her free time.  Mother of two school-aged daughters, her freelance lifestyle gives her the ability to be fully involved in their lives, especially at their schools where she handles much of their marketing. A fun fact about Kristina is that she loves to run, even in the heat of South Carolina summers. She is excited to be an integral part of the Our Town Magazine team.
