“Working with Christian, I felt we were building something that doesn’t just speak to donors, but will connect with everyone who cares about this work. I truly believe our messaging & website will resonate with educators, advocates, and future supporters alike.
I know it’s taken a lot of work and collaboration to get here, and I’m so grateful for your partnership. Thank you for sticking with it and bringing so much thoughtfulness to the process.
Anne Marie
Development Director, The Reading League
“The first time I realized we are doing something different than we've done before is when we met with Christian and got his copy back. We felt "he gets us!" He was able to express better than us what we are trying to say.
I don't usually get excited about things like this, but I was energized by the work Christian did for us and by his process. His work is top shelf.”

Co-Founders, The Leader’s Journey
“Christian captured my work in a way that made me feel seen and understood, bringing clarity and compassion to my vision that I did not have words for yet myself. I am so very grateful for his kind soul and commitment to supporting others. Incredibly well done; thank you.”
