About
Hi, I’m Christian Burlison. I used to design. I still do design, but I used to, too.
I'm a designer based in Dayton, Ohio, currently freelancing. Six years ago I started learning design tools out of curiosity, and that curiosity turned into a habit of looking at things and thinking they could be better. As a freelancer, I've worked with agencies, startups, nonprofits, and everything in between, picking up a few awards along the way, though that's a story for another section.
I believe every project is a chance to pick up something I didn't know I needed. What I care about most is improving brands through strong visual storytelling and building systems that last.
