Oh, Hello there,

I am a Christina, a German/Canadian illustrator and graphic designer living in the beautiful city of Vancouver, Canada.

I graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden, Germany (in Communication Design) in 1999 and worked as an Art Director in advertising for a variety of international agencies after that.
I have been working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator with a focus on creating visual adventures for young spirts since moving to Canada in 2005. My work has received several award nominations and great recognition.
I consider myself very lucky that I now hold two nationalities – German and Canadian.

I love being in the mountains, am fond of all kinds of animals (especially horses), practice yoga, am an enthusiastic tennis player and enjoy visiting classrooms as a speaker.

I’d love to hear from you, if you’d like to inquire regarding Illustration, wish to collaborate on a fun and exciting project, are interested in licensing or commissioning art or wish to book me as a speaker. Please use the contact form or catch me here: chris(at)christinaleist.com

I am currently looking for agent representation as illustrator/writer in both English speaking countries and/or in Germany.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris(tina)
