About
Hi, I’m Christian.
I’ve spent my career on websites: federal health sites like cancer.gov, investor education at Vanguard, and brand and launch sites for pharma companies through agencies like Publicis Sapient and Weber Shandwick.
The common thread is taking complicated, high-stakes information and making it something people can find, understand and act on, while keeping legal, medical and business reviewers on board.
I work independently out of Philadelphia, with clients anywhere.
Tools I work in
- Figma
- Maze
- Microsoft Clarity
- Amplitude
- CMS & DAM platforms
- Generative AI workflows
