About Christopher
My Work
I am a multidisciplinary designer and creative who blends imagery and typography with intelligence and purpose for the benefit of a wide variety of clients so they can successfully sell their products and ideas to their target audience. That's the elevator pitch which is kinda wordy. The reality is I have so much more to offer including years of experience in illustration, graphic design & photography as well as extensive experience in marketing. I have also had unprecedented opportunity to work in some of the most creative firms in the world and indeed as you will see off of this world! To increase my professional acumen I spent more than a few years becoming an expert in customer experience, adult learning and marketing for companies like Accenture, Ford Motor Company and Carlson Marketing. While learning valuable lessons during those years I continued to play a creative role in several areas including my work for Star Trek and my work for the Toronto Dance Community!
While I may have learned my early creative skills during the waxed galley type years I have updated my offerings with the latest in digital design over the years and most recently at Toronto Film School. My value proposition is clear, highly creative, highly experienced and ready for anything you can throw at me!
