ROCK & SCROLL
Hey
there
Hey digital skill seeker! I’m Christian. A Digital Design Director with 12 years industry experience working for top global brands. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Interactive Design with first-class honours and a Master’s degree in Creative Technologies with distinction.
My
process
When it comes to ideas I like to think big; but I learnt early on that in order to stay grounded as a creative, you have to stay focused on your goals and your audience. I also learnt that the greatest ideas are born from collaboration. I’ve been shuffling pixels for over a decade, and I’ve watched digital design tools evolve into collaborative platforms that facilitate a more iterative way of working. I believe that balancing those creative eureka moments, with scientific research and testing, works every time.
About
me
Building on an early passion for Graphic and Product design, I spent four years acquiring two degrees in Leicester while sharpening my teeth at a local design agency. For the last 10 years I’ve made my way up within world renowned agencies working for some amazing brands. I currently head up a digital design team at Oliver. I’m hands on, designing day-to-day and running creative workshops, client presentations and pitches. It would be too much of a cliché to tell you I love what I do, so instead, remember that picture of me devouring a salt beef beigel? Well work makes me that happy.
What
I create
I work across a broad spectrum of digital design disciplines, including UX Design, Creative Ideation, Art Direction and as well as Animation, Sound and Video creation. I also have an understanding code thanks to building some HTML and Flash websites way back when. As a Digital Creative Leader, this knowledge cocktail helps me better understand challenges in my team, and liaise confidently across other departments.
