MY APPROACH & INSIGHTS
CHRISTY DIAZ
Starting at William Paterson University, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) before diving deeper into design with a Masters in Packaging Design (MA) in grad school at Pratt. With over a decade of experience in graphic and packaging design, I've had the chance to work on some truly exciting projects that have pushed me to grow and evolve. While my expertise lies in graphic and packaging design, I approach each project as a chance to create experiences, stir emotions, and build connections. My interests span identity, branding, photography, illustration, web, and product design, turning ideas into beautifully realized experiences. From start to finish, I pour my heart into pushing boundaries and creating meaningful connections through visually captivating designs.
