Christopher has been expressing his artistic ability as early as 2 years old. He always knew to pursue a career in the arts. "Creativity in a person can be brought out with just a little inspiration"
Chris received awards and recognition as the "class artist" all through public school.
"I really appreciate my art teacher Mrs. McGarry for directing & encouraging me to apply to Paier College of Art."
After graduating college Christopher began his graphic design career at American Sign-New Haven, CT.
Here is where Chris worked on projects for Old Navy & GAP companies.
These projects required technical sign drawing as well as custom fabricated high quality neon & graphic signs. The design dept. introduced Chris to Corel Draw, a powerful design software that he is now very proficient in and applies to all current work.
Later Christopher accepted an opportunity to be assistant creative director & designer at I.C.I. Design, a designer and manufacturer of point-of-purchase cosmetic displays.
These projects required 3D artistic renderings along with a scaled model for sales presentations. The owner, a respected New York designer introduced Chris to Rhino 3D modeling software to create the sample image, while amplifying his creative ability.
Christopher spearheaded projects for Bed Bath and Beyond, Ulta & Bare Essentials cosmetics.
Chris left I.C.I to establish himself as a freelance sign maker and designer for a few years until settling into a convenient opportunity to manage a Sign-A-Rama franchise location in Wallingford. He helped build the independently owned & operated location to a reputable business among the community.
Chris invested many hours with customers servicing their business needs from concept to completion. The highlight of working there was becoming certified to sell, design, & install vehicle wraps.
Christopher made a career change in 2008 when he was offered a Project Manager position at Shiner Signs -Meriden, CT.
The next step as a project manager was to oversee the set up of independant franchise locations, for T-Mobile cellular & Verizon wireless. Each location required in house production of a franchise brand sign and shipped to regional contractors for install.
Christopher's graphic design experience and his advanced Corel Draw skills were put to use creating scaled artwork for production along with detailed sign drawings needed for permitting.
His communication skills aided the process of permitting with landlords, city departments, and installers. A project management position has challenges to achieve results in a time sensitive deadline, but builds individual attention to detail with each successfully completed job.
Other contracts were acquired such as MidState Hospital, Albertus Magnus College, and the YMCA that suited Christopher's experience. Many projects benefitted from Christopher's multiple talents. He adapted to focus more into the production of the signage he was designing and selling only to excel at his workmanship and lead the department, still maintaining lead designer position.
For more than 10 years Christopher's sign and art experience has delivered impact advertising to any application. Christopher's work is showcased and can be seen throughout New England, New York and Florida U.S.A.
