About Me
Hey there, I'm Christian — a graphic, brand, and web designer with a passion for visual storytelling. My background as an on-ice hockey official has led me to create motion graphics and design projects for organizations like the IIHF and BCHL, where I bring a unique insider’s perspective to sports branding and communications.
Alongside my design work, I have a strong foundation in front-end development, working with tools like React, Next.js, and Webflow to build engaging, responsive experiences. I also run a social media account dedicated to promoting the officiating community through custom motion graphics and marketing content. Whether you're a design agency or a sports organization, I bring a blend of creative vision and real-world experience to every project!

BCHL Officials
Gameday Graphics Package
The BCHL Officials social media project is an ongoing initiative focused on promoting and elevating the officiating community. As the lead designer and content creator, I use the platform to experiment with new styles, motion techniques, and visual storytelling formats. This project not only helps highlight the personalities and work of BCHL officials but also serves as a creative outlet to push the boundaries of sports-focused content design.
BCHL
2025 Officiating Combine
For the BCHL’s inaugural Officiating Combine, I was tasked with creating a suite of marketing materials to promote the event across digital platforms. Given full creative freedom, I developed a visual theme that highlighted the professionalism of BCHL officials while incorporating a nostalgic, retro-inspired aesthetic.
IIHF
2025 Ice Hockey World Championship
For the 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, I was brought on to design custom locker room nameplates for the tournament’s on-ice officials. The goal was to create a sleek, professional look that aligned with the IIHF’s brand identity. The final designs combined function and visual consistency to enhance the tournament experience for the officiating team.
Stripes Nation
Brand Development
Stripes Nation is a brand I designed to showcase the hockey officiating community and bring greater visibility to the people behind the game. Built around a bold visual identity, Stripes Nation reflects the strength, focus, and integrity that officials bring to the ice. Through a mix of design and photography, Stripes Nation captures the moments that define officials and tells their story from a fresh perspective.
