About Christy

I'm a Phoenix-based graphic designer with a rare combination of creative skill and operational depth. At Minuteman Press, I've worked directly for the owner managing the full lifecycle of a job — from the initial client conversation through design, production, and delivery.

My background spans brand identity, print production, presentation design, and social media content. I understand not just how things should look, but how they need to be built for the real world — press-ready, client-approved, on time.

I partner especially well with interior design and architectural firms, professional services businesses, and in-house creative teams that need a designer who speaks both the creative and operational language.

"I speak both languages — client relationships and creative execution."

What I Bring to Your Team

Full-Spectrum Capability

I've handled design, client service, AND production — no handoff gaps. I own the full process from first call to final file.

Production-Ready Accuracy

Working in print means zero tolerance for error. Every file I deliver is prepped correctly — bleed, resolution, color mode, preflight-ready.

AI-Augmented Workflows

I actively use AI tools to work faster and smarter — research, copywriting, ideation, and process optimization. Demonstrated right here in this app.

"Christy exceeded our expectations for our website redesign. We look so much more professional now and our clients are loving how streamlined and user-friendly the site is!"
