About Kristine

Practicing arts advocacy is a passion that Kristine embraces as an essential component of her life. She and her artist husband, Rick Crangle, have long championed the arts and cultural community of Cape Ann. As a former seARTS Board Advisor, Kristine has sponsored community based arts programs and has advised various artists and art associations on their marketing and fund raising strategies.

Kristine’s 25 + years of experience, most recently as a Business Strategist with Herman Miller Inc. a Fortune 500 global design leader, have prepared her well for taking a leadership role to raise the visibility of the cultural community of Cape Ann. While at Herman Miller, she was a member of several corporate councils that included brand strategy, global expansion for multinationals, sustainable design, and workplace consulting. Kristine received numerous awards for her leadership of high performance teams and contribution to Herman Miller’s overall growth strategy. Kristine feels her degree from the University of New Hampshire with a concentration in psychology served her well in her career focused on new business development.

In 2011 she led the marketing campaign that nominated Gloucester/Cape Ann as a Top 25 Art Destination for the national arts and magazine, AmericanStyle. She is also a board member of the Rockport Art Association. Supporting the rich arts and cultural community of Cape Ann is part of her DNA.
