Hi, I'm Christina Chinn, a Senior Visual Designer.
(But, please, call me CC!)
I specialize in digital experiences for both tech & retail industries.
From art direction, illustration and photo retouching to managing a team of cross-functional designers, I’ve done it all. I believe that empowering, inspirational design can transform experiences. In my work, I strive to create interactions that tell a seamless story while connecting with the customer and building brand perception.

Victoria SanchezAbout me
Fueled by tea, puppies and fashion, I stay creative in my spare time as a blogger. My passion project allows me to art direct my own photoshoots and retouch images on a regular basis.
Always living by the saying, "a rising tide lifts all boats," I've also helped build a community of creatives with an annual event that celebrates inclusion and female empowerment.
