Hello
Hello
After studying at the University of Minnesota, I traded the Midwest for New York and spent the next 16+ years bouncing between startups, agencies, consulting firms, enterprise organizations, and everything in between. Along the way I've helped design products, services, and digital experiences for companies like Google, Nike, Bloomberg, Northwestern Mutual, Con Edison, and dozens of others.
Today, I'm a UX & Design Director leading teams, shaping product strategy, mentoring designers, and helping organizations turn ambiguity into action. My sweet spot sits at the intersection of user needs, business goals, technical realities, and the occasional impossible deadline.
I've always been the person who says, "Sure, we can figure that out," before knowing exactly how. Sometimes that means facilitating executive workshops. Sometimes it means building a design system. Sometimes it means creating an AI strategy. Sometimes it means MacGyvering my way out of a locked bathroom in rural Thailand.
The process is surprisingly similar.
When I'm not obsessing over customer journeys, research insights, product strategy, or team growth, you'll probably find me wandering New York in search of the city's next great meal, planning a trip somewhere far away, or collecting stories that are far more entertaining than they are practical.
Curious. Ambitious. Collaborative. Slightly over-caffeinated.
Always looking for the next challenge worth saying yes to. Let's work together.
Stay humble & hungry // Christine
“I cannot recommend Christine enough for any team looking to identify and solve tough design challenges, chart a path forward despite ambiguity and bring cross functional partners along for the ride. Our team has learned and benefitted tremendously from Christine during her time at Northwestern Mutual.”
“I have rarely seen a client trust someone as they trusted Christine. She wasn’t just a vendor helping with their UX needs–they viewed her as a trusted partner, and in some cases as a friend, who truly understood the ins and outs of their company.”
“Despite project hurdles and curveballs, Christine was always able to not only deliver on anything that was asked of her, but did so in quick turnarounds, ON TOP OF her weekly tasks she’d set for herself.”
“Christine has the compassion, confidence, effective leadership skills, technical expertise, and finesse with clients that make her an asset to every team she joins.”
“Christine always came prepared to create excellent user experiences, to push boundaries when possible, and to exceed client expectations.”
“Her empathy for the user, meticulous organization, and of course great design work, resulted in a superior product for the project.”
“She’s able to empathize with the user and create experiences that are both effortless and gratifying to use. ”
“She’s killer in front of a client and knows how to communicate confidently and succinctly to an audience. On top of that, she’s proven time and time again that a deck of wireframes can be an art form.”
“Christine is knowledgeable, super organized, and cares deeply about every project she works on. She values dedication and expertise in herself as well as others. ”
“Christine is hands down the most passionate designer I’ve had the pleasure of working with.”
