Kyrstin Avello Email & Phone Number

Growing up just west of Chicago and having graduated the Illinois Institute of Art, I currently work as an Art Director at Everi, helping create land based slot games. Previously I was a Producer with Everi, supporting cross discipline team members in sprint planning, backlog creation and refinement, vendor submissions, and miscellaneous pipeline improvements. Before my stint with project management, I was a Lead Artist both with Everi and at Scientific Games (formerly WMS Gaming), lending artistic efforts on 21 games over eight years and leading teams ranging from 2 to 12 artists. Daily tasks included assisting with art direction via feedback and mentorship, regular syncs and goal setting with direct reports, and building foundational slot knowledge across the art team. Outside of art I can be found watching professional wrestling or attempting to replicate my great-grandmother’s pound cake recipe. In the few months Chicago finds itself with above zero temperatures, I enjoy nature walks with my dog Kona or birding with friends!
