ABOUT.
HELLO THERE, I’M CHRISTAL.
I am a curious Graphic Designer and Illustrator from Sydney, NSW.
A combination of my love of fine arts, a passion for creating change and a desire to understand the world around me has inspired me to complete a Bachelor of Communication Design at Billy Blue College of Design in Ultimo.
Throughout my studies, I've grown to appreciate the design thinking process in its entirety. From initial research to conceptualising, prototyping and then the final outcome, it's incredibly rewarding to see an idea develop into a meaningful, tangible solution. Being exposed to a wide variety of projects has allowed me to diversify my skill set and amplify my passion for creative problem-solving.
With a focus on continuous learning and personal development, I am always seeking new opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills while applying what I've learned throughout my studies to real-world applications.
While I patiently wait for Adobe programs to open or have some time to spare, I also enjoy baking, painting, gardening and photography — just any outlet where I'm able to express myself.
Get x-heighted and join me on my journey using the pathfinder tool to help guide me through the design world (I promise, no more puns).
