As an artist, Christel is a woman of volition; a bold and decisive creator who remains humble enough to deeply listen to another’s vision and act in service of that vision.

Christel worked with me as collaborator in fair exchange, both of us in service to the creation of the Zeta Ophiuchi website as a shared vision. Christel didn’t just create a website, she grew with it, stretched into its magic, learned from it and expanded her own artful expression.

– Chrissy Sawyer, Zeta Ophiuchi

Christel has brought so much visual clarity and punch to our website and other brand assets. We love how awesome she is at turning concepts into something visual. This has allowed us to occupy a place amongst our competition where we are quickly and easily recognizable.”

Chaz Thorne, Founder/Lead Planner, OnePagePlans

Our recent collaboration with Christel on the Alchemist package showcased her exceptional design and website development skills, resulting in a complete overhaul of our online presence including a new Squarespace website and refreshed branding. Christel’s professionalism, expertise, and intuitive design sense make her a standout choice for any design or website project.”

– Selene & Alex Cole, Little Foot Yurts

Christel has led many design projects for OTN over the last several years, including a brand refresh, the development of a new website, and a handful of annual reports. She really takes the time to understand the vision and always turns it into something dynamic, functional and visually stunning!”

– Anja Samardzic, Communications Manager, Ocean Tracking Network

Christel has a deep understanding of the intersection of the look of design and the function of a brand. This results in design elements that not only look amazing but get the job done. In the case of the work she has done for us, this means that prospects turn into clients.”

– Paul MacInnis, Partner/Producer, SOULO Projects

Christel is my go to for creative projects. She deeply listens and gets me. Knows what I’m looking for more than I do. Every project is made from a deep place of service and is seamless. She makes the process easy.

– Chrissy Hollis, Embodied Profit Leadership
