The first thing Kristy Martino wanted to be when she grew up was a garbage man. The second thing was a writer.
Her path to the word, however, was winding. Spanning over two decades, she was a former textile designer, marketing director, lobbyist, and lead singer of an (objectively incredible) 80s New Wave cover band in NYC.
She’s owned a screen-printing business, and a successful design studio, but her greatest asset has always been the pen.
Kristy has told stories on stages, on Capitol Hill, and in countless dimly lit cafes around the world. Words are her love language. Followed shortly thereafter by applause.
In her role as Head of Creative Development at Strategic Media in Maine (USA), she writes and produces memorable radio and podcast ads for household brands like Babbel, ZipRecruiter, Hims & Hers, and more.
Kristy has an insatiable curiosity, strong opinions on fruit, baseball, and Lyndon Baines Johnson, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of others.
