"Christian is a rare breed of design leader. During his time at Elbaite, he didn't just execute on briefs; he drove our product strategy. From spearheading our U.S. expansion to taking FastStables from a blank canvas to a fully launched platform, he consistently balanced strict regulatory requirements with deep empathy for the end-user. He is strategic, highly collaborative, and leaves his ego at the door. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
Morty Tollo
CEO | Elbaite, FastStables
"What sets Christian apart is his ability to take incredibly dense, highly regulated systems and translate them into beautifully simple, human-centred experiences. As Head of Design, he bridged the gap between our complex technical constraints and the user's needs flawlessly. He is a phenomenal problem solver who elevates the standard and culture of every cross-functional team he works with."
Samira Tollo
CTO | Elbaite, FastStables
"Christian is exactly the kind of design leader engineers want to work with. He deeply understands the technical side of product development, making his Figma prototypes and UX handoffs incredibly seamless to build. He integrated perfectly into our agile development pods, always advocating for the user while respecting engineering constraints. He is a true team player who makes the whole development cycle faster and smoother."
Gonzalo Bellanti
Head of Engineering | Elbaite, FastStables

About Me

I’m a multifaceted designer who believes the best digital solutions are built with curiosity and empathy.

My journey didn't start in a traditional corporate environment. Building my own freelance agency taught me how to wear multiple hats, manage diverse stakeholders, and align creative vision with strict business goals. Stepping into a Head of Design role allowed me to scale that mindset—leading cross-functional pods, navigating heavy regulatory constraints, and championing Human-Centred Design (HCD) across entire product lifecycles.

My story goes back to the very start - from drawing at age 5, building computers with my dad at age 10 and then diving into internet and gaming. My obsession with the internet, technogloy and art all came together for me natrually.

Human Centered

I translate messy user research and qualitative data into intuitive, accessible UI/UX, owning the end-to-end product lifecycle with empathy for the end-user.

Cross Functional

I thrive in agile development pods, acting as the strategic bridge between design, engineering, and key business stakeholders to ensure seamless handoffs.

Data Driven

I leverage quantitative metrics and qualitative feedback to validate ideas, iterate continuously, and translate complex user data into clear, actionable insights.

Software Mastery

From high-fidelity prototyping in Figma to full-scale Webflow development, my strong grasp of HTML/CSS ensures my designs are realistic and production-ready.

Natural Leadership

I cut through strict compliance and legal red tape, translating heavy business requirements into clear, accessible, and beautiful UI/UX.

Effective Collaborator

I operate with a "no-ego" mindset, actively seeking iterative feedback, presenting confidently to stakeholders, and mentoring peers to elevate our design culture.
