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.

A strong fit for professional services firms, in-house creative teams, and any business where design has to perform in the real world.

What I Bring to Your Team

Full-Spectrum Capability

Design, client service, and production — handled by one person, no handoff gaps. Whether I'm the only creative in the room or part of a larger team, I deliver on time and on budget.

Production-Ready Accuracy

Working in print means zero tolerance for error. Every file I deliver is production-ready — correct bleed, resolution, and color mode — so clients avoid costly reprints, press delays, and the back-and-forth that comes from files that weren't built right the first time.

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!

Christy gave LEC a complete brand makeover and managed our weekly LinkedIn and YouTube content. Reliable, easy to work with, and made our brand look polished and professional across every channel.

When I started Namba Gear, I turned to Christy to build the website, branding, and social media from the ground up. She nailed the look — and defined the feel of our brand from day one.
