Kirsten

Kirsten Crawley

Account Manager

After graduating from Appalachian State University with a B.A. in Communication Studies, Kirsten found her way back to Richmond and into the advertising world. Before she landed at RTH, she fed her obsession with the art of print making at a local shop learning every part of the business. Today, she uses that experience for clients at RTH including…well, all of them.

When Kirsten isn’t over-organizing the office, planning the next project or walking the office dog, Molly, she can be found in a backyard somewhere enjoying a good bourbon.
