Bio
Jennifer Sigsworth
Cristina brought much-needed creativity and passion to the Dow Wolff Cellulosics team during her internship, quickly brought strategic insights and recommendations to the business for consideration, and her design background was an added bonus. She was highly organized and detail-oriented, and her work was used to support a new product launch, as well as providing the starting point for a major rebranding campaign for the business.
Jen Magathan
I was pleased to have Cristina in a few of my classes and found her to be a wonderful and conscientious student. She always came to class with a new idea and drive to make that idea work. I found her to be able to think creatively and conceptually, and was always willing to work with her fellow students to create meaningful and expressive work. She also participated in the student chapter of AIGA at MSU (of which I was the Faculty Advisor at the time). An avid contributor and a person dedicated to the study and practice of design, she brought so much to the chapter at MSU. I am happy to give my full endorsement of Cristina and know that she would be a valued contributor, where ever she is employed.
