Christiana is an integrated marketer who spent 11 years agency-side. Never able to take off that branding hat and possessing a voracious curiosity about everything, she’s passionate about telling stories, embracing and learning about new cultures and languages.
Her brand experience includes entertainment, CPG, hospitality, automotive and spirits. Some of her client roster includes: Six Flags (Formerly Cedar Fair Entertainment), Sealy, KILZ Paint & Primer, Napa Valley Vitners, Corona Extra, Pacifico, Porsche and Hyatt just to name a few. She’s helped craft content strategies for these brands
When she’s wearing her creative hat, she’s created visual assets for Reebok, Arcteryx, Illinois Housing Council, Paylocity, The Lakota Group, Dropbox, Nick’s Ice Cream, Michelob Ultra and many more.
She regularly works with clients to consult and create their digital content and understands the importance of branding. When she’s not photographing, producing comes naturally to Christiana and she can feed lines and architect a shot. She has worked on photo/video productions aSweatlife.com, Nuun Hydration, DropBox, Miraval Resorts, Weber Grill Corporation, Lexus and Michelob Ultra.
When the opportunity has presented itself, Christiana consults as a strategic partner, developing GTM plans, writing digital content and drafting communications materials.
Christiana is an adventurer by heart and loves capturing the essence of a place, product and person. When she’s not “not” breaking up with advertising, she’s focused on storytelling through portraits and working to set up community events to gather and connect diverse women across Chicago.
Christiana also teaches event photography at a local non-profit for Chicago high school students, FreshLens Chicago, with fellow photographer, Ryan Barayuga. If we work together there is a chance, if it’s appropriate, she’ll ask to bring a star student mentee or her dog, Marcel.
