I am Christen. I am a dreamer. 
Many people ask “why graphic design?” I chose this path because it allows me to spend the rest of my life living in my imagination, experiencing different projects, and practicing a process of surrounding myself with the unfamiliar to reach my full potential. Living in a world that is so fascinating and unique provides the inspiration to keep creating. My mind is constantly moving onto the next project. My beloved hobby is exploring how the world works. Yes, it takes me an embarrassing amount of time to cook, grow, ferment, create, stitch, paint and build. But I created it. Graphic design is about venturing out and collecting information about any project. I enjoy using creative problem solving skills to share it with the world in an appealing and interactive way. That’s why I love art. It’s personal, it’s exciting, it’s unfamiliar, it’s uncomfortable. That’s why I am a dreamer. 
I am Christen.
