Bio
Tim Toscano
It was an absolute pleasure working with Christine. She's one of the most dedicated, organized, and talented designers I've been fortunate to work with. From the very beginning of our working relationship I knew I could count on Christine to manage her workload efficiently and effectively and to alert me if any project was in jeopardy of getting behind schedule. Christine is a consummate collaborator that listens carefully and thoughtfully applies her skills to deliver creative that was always on time and on brand. I miss working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking to hire an experienced and talented designer.

I worked with Christine at DW Green Company where she served as Director of Design and Production and I was Chief Operating Officer. In my 8 years there I worked with several really talented designers. Christine consistently delivered attractive, eye-catching print designs. She did an incredible job in designing quarterly magazines. She also worked directly with our most demanding customers and was able to keep them satisfied with her excellent designs.

Chris Zabell is a very detail oriented manager. She can always be counted on to adhere to deadlines and provide the people she works with the information they need. While acting as Director of Design and Production at DW Green Company, she has proven to be a very accommodating and helpful leader.
