Can she change a VW starter in 15 minutes flat? Can she win on a game show?
You bet.
You bet.
Cristy lives in NYC with her rescue dog Buddy and her ever growing collection of musical instruments. She also finds it challenging to speak of herself in the third person.
SOME KIND WORDS:
“Cristy is one of those rare talents who is like a chameleon—she can be whoever you need her to be. Need a crack designer for a project with an impossible deadline? No problem. Need inspired creative ideas today for a client presentation tomorrow? Cristy will make sure it happens. For example, I hired her as a Senior Art Director. But when the CD on a very large and important pharma account left, Cristy not only stepped in on this very demanding account, she did it with grace, humor and the utmost professionalism. Bring her in for a freelance assignment and soon you’ll be looking for ways to bring her on full-time. She’s that good. ”

“Cristy brings the heavy sticks when I bring out a new piñata. As a frequent collaborator and creative confidant of nearly 20 years, she is my patron saint and creative intercessor and is the first person that I call to test ideas, to be a sounding board or am looking for my work to take a good old fashioned beat-down. I trust her implicitly!
Cristy’s ability to see challenges holistically, think critically and bring unexpected insights into her work have contributed to successes on branding and identity projects for clients like Starbucks, Whole Foods Market, and a rebrand for Whizin Market Square in Southern California. Her combination of practical, proactive and out-of-the-box ideas link strategy and planning, concepts and narrative, and tactical visual vocabulary with a work ethic that gets more things done.
Cristy is also an accomplished guitarist and ukulele player, so there’s sunshine and song while you wait for praise from your clients between submissions. I highly recommend her and her work!”
