Hey, I’m Christie B.
Ex-Designer with Google, Art Director, and now a Creative Career Coach, helping graphic designers get recognised for their best work.
I've been in the design world for over a decade, working with brands like Google and leading creative teams in agencies and studios.
Throughout my career, I've helped countless designers navigate the challenges of starting out and find their footing in competitive environments.
When I started my design career, I felt lost, unsure if I was on the right track, and constantly trying to prove I belonged. Over my 13+ years, I've made it my mission to teach Junior Designers the real-world skills you don't learn in uni—helping them stop spinning their wheels and build the expertise that leads to promotions and recognition.
