Profile

Christian Taylor

Creative Freelancer / Developer

Hi, I’m Christian — a designer, creator, and problem-solver based in Chicago, Illinois. I’ve spent nearly a decade helping people and organizations bring their ideas to life through creative design, motion graphics, and visual storytelling.

Outside the studio, I’m working toward a degree in Computer Science with a focus on biomedical sciences while continuing my career in healthcare. My goal is to eventually blend these worlds—using technology, creativity, and compassion to make meaningful change in people’s lives.

If you’re interested in collaborating, I’d love to chat and learn more about your project!
