About  


HELLO

Hello! My name is Kierstin Keller, a natural science artist and graphic designer dedicated to bridging the gap between the scientific community and the general public. I run Golden Spiral Studios (GSS) out of Juneau, Alaska, where I collaborate with small business owners, nonprofits, and state agencies to create visual materials that bring the wonders of the natural world to all ages. My goal is to make science more accessible and engaging for everyone—from Alaskans and visitors to anyone eager to learn more about the environments we inhabit. At GSS, I offer a broad range of services, whether you need captivating illustrations, data-driven design, or expert formatting for your project. Whatever your vision, I’m here to help bring it to life with creativity and clarity.
