writer, creative, collaborator

fan of stylistic all-lowercase

about me

Grown in Honolulu, HI and flown elsewhere, I designed my degree in Writing and Creative Collaboration because it's what I've always loved to do. Well, that and reading, gaming, performing, and TTRPGs. (I may or may not have a D&D TikTok...)

In my 6 years of copywriting, I've established the unhinged brand voice of LEGO 2K Drive as well as the kindly old mascot of a local tech startup; simplified the super-technical for Google, YouTube, and LinkedIn; and brought my love of D&D, Call of Duty, and Pokémon GO to their official social channels.

Most recently, I'm happy to be directly serving my community with my work on local and national brands like American Savings Bank, HVCB, and McDonald's of Hawaii.

My name is pronounced "Christi Anne". People always want to make it fancy,

but just think "Cindy Lou" like the Who

or "Sallie Mae" like the loans.

writer

I'm adept at storytelling, matching voices (ask me about LOST's Henry Ian Cusick), and fitting big ideas into tiny text. Also grateful to be living in an age where fewer writers die of consumption.

creative

Whether it's by myself or on a team, I love brainstorming new approaches and solving problems in different ways. I didn't get "E" for "Exceeds Expectations" in art class for nothing.

collaborator

A copywriter, a designer, and an account executive walk into a bar. We revamp the menu and I make all the drink names embarrassing to ask for out loud. Can I get, uhhhhh...

but wait, there's more

nice things colleagues have said about me

Eric Shearer | Director of Strategy at MVNP
Christianne is that rare talent who can wrangle both creative and corporate writing, making her a go-to asset for a tremendous breadth of work from advertising to public relations. To that she adds a sunny disposition, dedicated work ethic and innate sense of whimsy that combine to make working with her a joy.
David Rielly | Group Creative Director at space.camp
Have I even said she’s a really top-notch and multifaceted copywriter yet? I honestly don’t think she could be a better co-worker. Not only is she beloved and counted on by her peers, but her remote status has never ever been an impediment for collaboration or “presence” as a core member of the team and active participant in our agency culture. Christianne can be proud of a long list of successes great and small.
Angela Neri | Content Designer at Meta
Christianne's positive attitude and proactive approach to everything she tackles have given her the edge in quickly becoming a key individual contributor. I value her commitment to getting it right, patience with incorporating feedback from multiple stakeholders, and keeping her team in the loop.
Meagan Bradshaw | VP, Group Account Director at Media.Monks
We're so lucky to have Christianne on the team! She is speedy but thorough, and delivers exceptional work. And we're always impressed by her confidence presenting and her humility when feedback comes in — she works through solutions with the client in such a collaborative way.
Lana Yuen | Influencer Talent Recruitment Manager at Softgiving
The term ‘wordsmith’ doesn’t do her justice. Christianne is a consistently strong writer with a natural gift for compelling, creative composition with a work ethic and personality to match. I’ve worked with many writers, editors and communications associates over the years and Christianne easily stands out above the rest.
