I'm Christina and I’m a designer and artist with an interest in the magic of the natural world. I have an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design at the New School in New York.

My skills & experience give me the toolset to expertly adapt to any project or scenario. I’m a UX and Product Designer, Design Educator, Illustrator, Animator, Sculpture Artist, Installation Designer, and Project Manager.

I enjoy working at the intersection of physical and digital experiences. As a manager, I’ve led cross-functional teams through complex projects and strongly believe in mentoring junior level team members along the way. As a UX and Product Designer, I use my experience in both digital and physical media to craft compelling design narratives that focus on the user and their needs. I’m passionate about finding new and meaningful ways to engage with users on projects that have an impact. As an Educator, I teach with a focus on the design thinking process, encouraging students to work through each phase in order to create iteratively derived, thoughtful work.

In my personal artistic practice, I draw inspiration from my fascination with the natural environment. My work explores the point at which our current understanding of the natural world blurs with the unknown or overlooked, drawing connections to fantasy & science-fiction themes.

I spent almost a decade living, working, and showing my work in New York, but recently moved back to the Pacific Northwest where I spend my free time exploring the lush green forests and snowy mountains.
