Meet your creative partner
Hi, I'm Cristie—and I've been in the room (and on the calls) where it happens.
The celebrity launching their wellness brand, tweaking final details. The restaurateur opening a new venue during the middle of a pandemic. The ex-marketing manager, turned aspiring hotelier reimagining a run down motel in a small town Montana. The venture-backed CEO who needs their Series A pitch deck to look like they're already worth $100M.
I've designed for all of them.
With fifteen years of industry experience, I'm the person founders call when the stakes are real. When a rebrand could make or break holiday sales. When a wellness brand needs to stand out in an oversaturated market. When an ecommerce startup has six weeks to look credible enough for a major retail partnership. When legacy brands need fresh thinking without losing what made them iconic.
Here's what nobody tells you about design: it's never just about making things pretty. It's about understanding that your brand is your most valuable asset—or your biggest liability. I know this because I live it. I run my own studio and ecommerce business. I've had the sleepless nights. I've made the bets. I've watched good design open doors and bad design close them.
So when we work together, you're not hiring a designer who disappears after delivering files. You're getting someone who's been exactly where you are, who knows what's at stake, and who won't stop until your brand does what it needs to do: win.
Big or small, scrappy or established, celebrity or unknown—I don't care where you're starting. I care where you're going.
Ready? Let's build something that matters.
