After spending nearly a decade in graphic design, advertising and international marketing, Kristen DiFate switched her focus to photojournalism and interactive storytelling. Once an illustrator and multimedia specialist, her preoccupation with the Internet led her to intern with Slate Magazine and the St. Louis Beacon.
Kristen is now an Assistant Professor of Digital Advertising at Webster University. She holds a Master's degree in photojournalism from the Missouri School of Journalism and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis.
