What I'm looking for

Looking for remote roles where I can craft clear, concept-driven design systems and collaborate with mission-aligned teams in culture, education, or digital rights. I value autonomy, research space, and ethical tech environments.

I'm Kristi Çunga, a Tirana-based creative lead with 10+ years of experience in graphic design, branding, digital campaigns, and editorial systems. My work spans across startups, NGOs, cultural institutions, and international organizations where I've led design for visual identities, publications, websites, and communication strategies that require clarity, cultural sensitivity, and strong conceptual execution.

I bring a multidisciplinary approach, blending minimal aesthetics with symbolic depth. I’m passionate about open-source culture, typographic experimentation, digital rights advocacy, and world politics.

I've collaborated with leading creative agencies like McCann and New Moment, and contributed to international campaigns focused on social change, sustainability, and education. I’ve also helped foundations and EU-funded projects communicate complex messages through refined design systems and engaging storytelling.

Beyond design, I’m actively involved in creative coding, visual research, and mentoring. I'm currently open to remote-first opportunities where I can contribute strategically and creatively to teams building thoughtful, mission-driven products or systems.
