About the Company

Lamppost Design, LLC is the sole proprietorship of designer Kirsten Keister, that offers a wide range of graphic design services to clients primarily in the Washington, DC and Boston, MA metro areas.

With over 10 years of experience, Kirsten is committed to developing effective and accessible communication by way of good design. Her passion lies both in realizing visions and in solving problems, partnering directly with clients to create fresh, smart designs that are meaningful and consistent.

Drawing from experience in both corporate and nonprofit environments, Kirsten is able to provide a broad range of services, which include: identity and branding, print design, and website design and development. She has created a niche for herself in working mostly with individuals, small businesses and nonprofits (and the occasional small project for a larger organization) to implement inspired, coordinated design that faithfully communicates a client’s vision.

Kirsten holds a Bachelor of Art in Graphic Design from Gordon College, where she acquired a strong background in fine art and photography. She also gained valuable professional experience by interning at Return Design, an entrepreneurial firm that serves non-profit and art-related clients. After graduation, Kirsten joined the Design Center at her alma mater where she worked with a small team to provide design support for college departments and administrative offices.

She continues to put her education to good use and, in fact, when she’s not in front of the computer, Kirsten can be found either in her art studio or out taking photographs.
