Testimonials
“We had originally hired another web designer who hadn’t delivered in many months. Working with Christine was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she bring solid web design ideas to our first meeting, but she delivered each stage of the site quickly and on-time.
She was proactive in taking great photos that were much needed and wrote a big part of our web copy. We’re very happy with how the site turned out. We not only get great comments from new and existing customers, but I also visit the site myself for inspiration and rejuvenation.
If you are looking for a creative, professional website to tell your story, I highly recommend speaking with Christine.”
“I’ve worked with a lot of creatives in my career in book publishing, and Christine Kell is one of the most talented and proficient I’ve had the chance to work with. Christine has the right instincts when it comes to design, and she is very meticulous and detail-oriented, which makes production editors very happy.
It is without surprise that Christine is liked and respected by her colleagues. She is a hard worker with a keen eye for presentation and appearance. She has an impressive skill set and is always willing to put in the work when needed.
I recommend Christine wholeheartedly. She really is a pleasure to work with.”
“Christine brings a level of detail and organization to projects that is unparalleled.
I specifically think of her to hire when I have a project that will have multiple moving parts, complex processes, and are, unfortunately, nightmares. I know I can trust Christine to see everything through to completion with a calm and professional attitude.
Christine is an absolute dream to work with and makes nightmare jobs a pleasant experience. I can’t thank her enough.”
“Nothing gets by Christine! Her attention to detail is second to none. From impeccable printer-ready pdfs to staying on top of complicated production schedules, I always feel at ease knowing Christine is on the job.”

About Me
I’m Christine Kell
My double-Bachelor’s degree in English Literature & Graphic Design from UC Davis has proven to be an amazingly valuable combination of “words & pictures” — it has served my clients well over the past 20+ years.
Insanely organized, creative, and a master of time, I always deliver your projects when promised.
I have expert tech skills in the latest Adobe Creative Suite and in prepress and printing processes. (Can you say “print-ready PDF” 3 times fast?)
