Kris Antonius, Graphic Designer

Kris Antonius is a mother, unschool parent, educator, community builder, herb farmer, and graphic designer. She has a longtime passion for creating community spaces and working on projects that foster connection with others, with nature, and with a slow and mindful way of life. In fact, it's the foundation of everything that her family of 6 does on the 80 acres they steward on Treaty 1 land – whether it’s life-learning with her teens (@cityfolfarm), the re-skilling festival (@diyfest), the medicinal herb farm (@awakenherbs), or the design projects at her desk, the focus is on growing strong, interconnected roots of community and simplicity.
