Kris Davidson is originally from Sweden, having spent the first half of her childhood in the Scandinavian Arctic and the second half in Texas. As an immigrant, she gained a love for different cultures that fuels her ongoing work as a photographer. In her personal work, she investigates the nuanced question of what it means to become and be an American, with an eye to the role of reconstructive memory as it gives shape to individual identity in a larger American cultural landscape.<\/p>\n

Before becoming a photographer full time, Kris worked as a marketing\/branding professional for eight years in the San Francisco Bay Area on the corporate and agency sides, a great career incarnation that continually informs her work as a visual storyteller. Her specialties include travel\/lifestyle, documentary and portraiture. She has collaborated with various editorial and commercial clients including National Geographic Traveler, Lonely Planet Traveller (UK), Kimpton Hotels, Ford, the Institute for Shipboard Education and many others. Kris is also a faculty member at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, teaching in the BFA and MFA programs.<\/p>\n

Kris has a bachelor\u2019s degree in communication arts from Loyola University in New Orleans and a Master\u2019s Degree of Fine Arts from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California.<\/p>\n

She is scheduled to speak during the following sessions of Career Summit 2018:<\/p>\n
