About Me

Hey, I’m Christian, a creative designer passionate about motion design and visual storytelling. My experience as an on-ice hockey official gives me a unique perspective on the energy and emotion of sports, shaping how I approach visual identity and branding. I bring these insights to social media, where I test design ideas in real-world settings and create motion graphics that engage the community.

Alongside my design work, I build responsive web experiences with React, Next.js, and Webflow. These development skills strengthen my UI/UX design by helping me think beyond visuals and focus on how users interact and engage with digital experiences. Let's put your ideas in motion together!

2026 Officiating Team

BCHL Officials logo

The BCHL Officiating Team graphics were created to stand apart from traditional sports roster designs. The name and number on the referee jerseys represent the new season and I used transform tools to warp them into its natural place. The cherry on top was applying an immersive wave animation to the jersey. The result is a bold, distinctive look that elevates the visuals and enhances the overall experience.

BCHL League Standings

BCHL Officials logo

The goal of this project was to elevate the classic linear design of sports league standings. I wanted the theme of neon lights to be prevalent throughout the entire graphic. Line animations and fill gradients were used to illustrate a loading effect when the numbers tick. Additionally, masks outlined team logos and key features to bring them to life. Behind the scenes, I linked a CSV file to update each team's point totals for a seamless export.
