About

I'm a graphic designer in the Chicagoland area with eight years of full time experience in the field. I've also been taking on freelance and personal web design projects in my spare time since 1996. While I would consider web design my forte, my skill set ranges from print and logo design to front-end web development.

At the moment, I'm looking to take on new challenges and make a big leap from the suburbs into the city of Chicago. Think I'd be a good fit for your company? Have a look through my portfolio at christiewalsh.com and feel free to get in touch! I'd love to discuss how I can help your business meet its design needs.
