About Christina

Christina Wald graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1991 with a degree in Industrial Design.

She does a mix of illustration, toy and giftware design. Illustrations are either done in acrylic or digitally (usually a combination for maximum editablity and to control out of gamut paint colors). All finals are submitted digitally (preferably to an FTP site).

Vector illustrations, product design/concepts, and Black and White samples are available upon request.

She has a lot of pre-press experience and works in a variety of programs including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Corel Painter.

Her interests include movies, TV (she is a pop culture junkie), design trends and reading. Any spare time she has is used to plan trips and travel-preferably to other countries as budget allows.

She also dabbles in comics and life drawing.
