Christian

Graphic designer I Art director
Creative co-conspirator

I’m a senior graphic designer, art director, and artist with decades of experience helping organizations communicate clearly, consistently, and with purpose.

I work primarily with medium to large organizations, academic institutions, and not-for-profits that value thoughtful design, strong brand systems, and clear communication, especially during periods of change.

My work focuses on transforming complex ideas into accessible visual narratives, building brands that are authentic and coherent across platforms, and providing creative direction and oversight that supports long-term impact rather than short-term noise.

As organizations navigate rapid shifts driven by AI and automation, I help teams focus on what technology can’t replace: judgment, taste, clarity, and human understanding. AI can accelerate production, but it still needs experienced direction to ensure meaning, consistency, and trust.

Alongside my design practice, I’m an active artist. This creative work continually sharpens how I see structure, composition, and story, and directly informs the strategic work I bring to clients.

I’m particularly interested in projects where design is a tool for connection, education, and positive change.
