People

It’s the lively conversations, exchange of laughter, and the sound of milk frothing that keeps Christy sane. Working with people is an honourable trade that brings Christy great joy, especially in the realm of good food and drinks. Santé!

Design

Christy sees design as an extension of her love for the F&B industry. She almost exclusively designs only for beverage packaging and the brands she loves.
