I'm Christian. I'm a graphic and advertising designer who specializes in brand creative, hand-lettering, and event promotion.
My work has been awarded Best of Show, seven gold awards, and six silver awards by the American Advertising Federation. I am a HOW The Best of Design featured designer, PRINT regional design award winner, GDUSA American Graphic Design Award winner, Graphis Gold, Silver, and Merit award winner, and a selected designer by Adobe, AIGA, and Creative Quarterly. Several pieces of my work have been published in the design textbook Mastering Type: The Essential Guide to Typography for Print and Digital Design (Second Edition) by Dr. Denise Bosler and I have been named one of CMYK magazine's Top 100 New Creatives.
I have been a designer and art director for over a decade for a myriad of clients and agencies, and have had the opportunity to work on multimillion-dollar national and international ad campaigns for B2C and B2B clients, as well as develop creative for many cause-oriented and community nonprofits. I also specialize in inclusive design practices for people with disabilities. I enjoy working both independently and as part of a large team. I'm a rostered artist for education by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, and have been a resident artist for the Allentown School District, where I helped inner city elementary and middle school students aspire towards careers in commercial arts. I have had the chance to do a bit of everything, and it has prepared me to handle a bit of anything.
I'm a certified stand up paddleboard (SUP) instructor with extensive padding experience in the United States, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands. My interests range from typography and hand lettering to photography, rescue cats, camping, biking, and creative writing. Let's work together and create beautiful things.
