ABOUT CHRISTIAN
I am Christian and I am your next designer. Well, hopefully.
If those first two lines didn't convince you, I don't know what will, but let me try a little harder. I am a graphic designer based out of the Boston area who currently specializes in web design and user experience. I say currently, because in the past decade or so, I have played and fallen in love with so many different concentrations.
Originally I focused on fine arts while practicing at the Lyme Arts Academy, but quickly found that design was my calling. Since, I have pursued print design, illustration, animation, music development, character design, web development, flash development and I even was briefly convinced I had a future in astrophysics. Ultimately I thrive on typography (keep an eye out for the launch of Type O.G., my hand lettering excursion), and good clean Swiss design.
Please feel free to browse through my work and contact me for any reason.
