ABOUT

Meet Christi, an artist and music enthusiast hailing from Long Island. She was fueled by an early passion for art, coloring her world with creativity and imagination.

Art has always been a central part of Christi's life, shaping her academic journey. From elementary school to college, she consistently enrolled in art classes, nurturing her talents, and refining her skills. It was in her second year at community college that she made the decision to pursue a career in graphic design, channeling her passion into a creative profession.

Her academic path was enriched with art-related courses, encompassing foundational studies in fine art, drawing, ceramics, 2-D and 3-D design, photography, art history and digital art. Her thirst for artistic knowledge extended beyond the classroom, leading her to explore further learning opportunities outside of her academic career.

At the age of 11, the movie School of Rock ignited a passion for music within Christi. Classic Rock and Hair Metal became her muses, prompting her to pick up the electric guitar and embark on a musical journey. This love for music inspired her to take music lessons and play in various bands, nurturing her dream to play in the Long Island music scene.

During the pandemic, Christi became a certified POUND Pro, embracing a new avenue for her passion for fitness. She now shares her enthusiasm by teaching POUND classes part-time at her local gym while maintaining a dedicated fitness routine herself, embodying a healthy and active lifestyle.

Beyond her love for art and music, Christi showcases her unique style through makeup, experimenting with a diverse palette of colors and techniques. Halloween brings out her creativity as she executes captivating costumes, adding an extra layer of excitement to her artistic repertoire.

In her moments of leisure, Christi immerses herself in an array of creative hobbies—crafting, baking, coloring, and crocheting—endeavoring to share her creations with her community and a broader online audience.

Beyond her creative pursuits, Christi finds joy in attending local shows, Broadway musicals, and exploring new cities.

Graphic Design will save the world right after Rock N' Roll does.
