Christian Hali

Designer, Artist, and Teacher in Santa Barbara, California

Hi! I'm an artist/designer and educator in the greater Santa Barbara / LA area.

I have taught adjunct art and design courses at California State University Stanislaus, Modesto Jr College, Art Institute California San Francisco, and the Sony Pictures Media Arts Program in LA.

At Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, I have led art departments, art directed, and designed numerous characters and environments for broadcast and print. As a UX designer and strategist at Lumium Design and Cubestack, I create user-centered and business-driven B2B enterprise software and B2C mobile apps.

But here's what you really want to know...

Strengths:

Observation. Empathy. Sketching. Solving business problems through design. Strategy. Design thinking. Teaching. Mentoring. Finding the funny.

Weaknesses:

Domestic policy and bedtime negotiations. Keeping a straight face. Milkshake avoidance maneuvers.

Click hire me. I triple dog dare you.
