about Christine

Armed with a healthy dose of humor and passion, I take pride in creating environments that bring out the best in my subjects and collaborators. Prior to embracing a remote freelance lifestyle in 2015 I flourished for over a decade as a full-time art director in corporate and agency environments.

In 2018 I received my BA in arts management from UMASS Amherst. Through the program I developed a working knowledge of how to bridge gaps between artists and audiences, which helps to inform my skills as an art director and elevate creative vibrance in communities and corporations alike.

I reside in Joliet, IL (Chicago metro area) and am available for assignments worldwide.
