Strategic or Magic?
Yes. I can do that.

STRATEGIC and CREATIVE

Are you looking for a creative leader to guide strategy, goals, and vision for your marketing and communications? You’re in the right place—and it’ll only seem like magic.

I oversee design staff and creative projects—including execution, planning, and guiding support teams. A hands-on creative and art director, I execute creative projects in everything from Google Ads, social media and web design, to video, copywriting, and branding.

Hi. I'm Chris.

Hi. I'm Chris.

I am a creative and a strategic.

I create visions of what could be and figure out what needs to happen to make that future a reality. Convening talent, curating culture, creating messaging that hits—that’s what I do.

I also design graphics, make art, and take photographs.

My experience spans digital and print marketing with a variety of organizations: an endurance sports coaching company in Colorado Springs, an environmental think tank in Boulder, a Tony Award®-winning theatre in Washington, and most recently, a software company in San Diego, serving customers in education, healthcare and city and county governments.

WHAT THEY SAID

From LinkedIn

Being a small business, Christian was a breath of fresh air as our Director of Graphic Design. I highly recommend Christian with complete confidence.

Leeann Raymond

VP Operations & Sales, edu Business Solutions

[Chris’] creative firepower was on display as a matter of course, and his ingenuity for clever and “noise” defying tactics was perhaps his strongest suit.  

Drew Coburn

Chief Impact Officer, United Way of Westchester and Putnam, New York

I often went to Chris when I needed second opinions or help with an issue I couldn’t see a solution for.  He would be a great addition to any team.

Joy Johnson

Director of Audience Services, Shakespeare Theatre Company

As Art Director for Rocky Mountain Institute, Chris was a great combination of creativity and strategic vision.
