I’m Christine, a multi-disciplinary designer from sunny California.
I run a solo design shop called Design Gal Studio, where I help mission-driven companies look good and win business.
After working in agencies, in-house corporate environments, and startups over the years, I decided to put all of my brand, web, and UX experience to use for businesses that are doing good in the world.
I believe being a generalist is a strength — and I also enjoy doing #allthethings for my clients 🙂
While I’m getting my business off the ground as of this February, I’m pretty active on Twitter.
It’s always been important to feel like my workspace is “me.”
I prefer bright and colourful spaces with a lot of light and fun things to look at.
It’s kind of funny because my work (and wardrobe!) tends to be more minimalist, but my interior design preferences can definitely lean more maximalist, at least when it comes to putting things on a wall.
My wall has a mixture of thrifted posters, prints, and original artwork.
I believe it’s at least 75% cat-related.
I’m definitely a cat lady.
I’m hoping to swap out some of the older posters for new ones as I get them. Probably more cats.
Furniture-wise, I have my main standing desk with bookshelves on either side.
I also have a smaller desk against my window that I use as a second setup or for other creative activities like painting or sewing.
I also have a saddle stool I recently got this year to replace my old office chair — it’s helped my posture a lot!
My honest review of this weird lil chair I bought to help my posture and sitting pains:
