View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Christina UllmanAbout Christina Ullman : I believe design is not a beauty contest, but a process of discovery to find the best approach to deliver a message. I have mastered multiple disciplines to allow me to integrate them to develop comprehensive solutions, converging art with design; images with narrative; marketing with communication; and interactive with branding. The result: Work that is innovative, aesthetically pleasing, and practical, as well as functional and informative. The convergence of our capabilities in visual communication, brand development, illustration and interactive media is the spark that fuels my creative energy. That, and a good cup of coffee.
I believe design is about more than just a look. It is a voice—a message that resonates to the reader. It is about creating an organizational balance that guides an audience through content. It is a unique combination of visuals with text in a design that creates a unique, engaging narrative, capturing a sense of place, telling a story the audience can relate to on many levels. Capturing this voice means taking time to listen and to understand a client's needs and translate them into solutions that exceed expectations.
