What inspired my influence?
Name’s Christiana, but my friends call me Christi (that includes you)!
I’m passionate about helping creatives and entrepreneurs elevate their personal brands through powerful visual storytelling and strategic content.
With over 100 weddings in my portfolio, I’ve had the priveledge of capturing many timeless moments for the last decade. From a young age, I always loved the creative arts, and in my teenage years developed an act for the digital sphere of artwork: graphic design, photography, and cinematography. Combining my love for storytelling amidst the rise of social media, life propelled me forward to result in my Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design at Charleston Southern University with a Minor in Marketing.
My work experience in the world of digital arts started in college. It was then when I became a second shooter for a local wedding videographer on the weekends, and during my summers enjoyed my experience taking portraits of highschool seniors at a photography studio. My passion for personal brand marketing began subconsioiusly as I and my generation of “zillenials” (1995-2000s babies) became the guinea pigs for redefining what it meant to sell online.
After managing social media for multiple small businesses, running email marketing campaigns, and designing websites and brand materials… I decided to follow my own passion – assisting others in making their entreprenurial dreams come true.
With a driven and independent eldest-daughter spirit, I opened my LLC in January of 2020 (great timing, right?), the month after I graduated college. Over the last five years I have gained a pleathora of knowledge through the trials of my own mistakes as well as fruits of my successes. It wasn’t until multiple of my peers started asking for business advice that I realized not only how little the average small business owner knows, but also how my decade of experience and education allows me to teach others about how to be sucessful in their own entrepreneurial ventures.
Starting a business is equally the most challenging and rewarding thing someone could do…
and I will advocate for the unmatched fulfillment of building something that you can be proud of – your legacy.
It’s through personal branding, marketing, photography, storytelling, networking, and more that I want to share with other small business owners. They deserve to be given the assets and resources to be successful at the work that they love. Investing in yourself will create the life that you want to live – a life unburdened by the rat race that many of us crave to relieve ourselves from, and allow us to spend time doing what we enjoy with the people whom we love most.
In my free time you’ll find me snuggling on the couch with my cat Loki, finding any excuse to spend time with friends and family, working to improve my sub-par rating at pickleball, or doing my best to make the most of my annual pass at Walt Disney World. With a sarcastic sense of humor and love for a good romantic comedy, you’ll likely see BravoTV or a 2000’s sitcom playing on my TV as I do my best to accomplish my mundane tasks for the day. As a Meyers Briggs ENTJ, Enneagram 3w2, Capricorn, and Hufflepuff, I do my best to balance a drive for vocational success while pursuing intentionality in my relationships. Kindness and integrity will never steer you wrong, and its those values that I take with me every day in pursuit of making a difference in this world.
