the artist, the visionary, the doer
creative process
Originally from Northern Virginia, Christina Hayes earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design before heading West in pursuit of sunshine, creativity, and new opportunities. Now rooted in Austin, TX with her lifelong fascination of art, placemaking, and the way artful design shapes our everyday experiences, her work has evolved into a multidisciplinary creative practice spanning nearly 14 years.
Christina believes that the best creative work begins with curiosity. She starts every project with listening, observing, and uncovering the feeling or story waiting to be expressed, then bringing it to life through thoughtful design, narrative, and technique. Approaching each project with equal parts imagination and intention, she balances concept with craftsmanship to create work that feels authentic and memorable.
her story
Christina has worked across branding, hospitality, experiential design, and the arts, creating everything from visual identities and immersive events to public installations and original artwork. Her varied works and experience live at the intersection of strategy, design, and manifested experience.
