About
At age 16 I took one Adobe Photoshop class and I was hooked. Design became my passion and today I am a Graphic designer with over 8 years of professional experience who is driven by one goal, to fill all of your design needs! I pride myself knowing that my customers can sit back and enjoy a new experience as I create attractive and functional design from concept to finished product.
I currently reside in Alsip, Illinois and have a very strong passion for all aspects of design. Through my experiences I have developed the qualifications that I believe you should look for in a designer such as: a strong sense of design, communication skills, organizational skills, and the ability to meet strict deadlines within a fast-paced environment. I understand that your time is valuable and value is what you will find here with me. Let me become the spark of inspiration that unlocks your imagination and give you the designs that you have always wanted. Look no further then Eric Christenson Design for all your print, design for web, and photo retouching needs. I work hard and smart because that’s who I am, and that’s what my clients deserve. -
