I’m Christopher Hill, a packaging and retail designer with 13+ years of experience taking consumer products from concept through shelf. I specialize in turning brand and packaging ideas into production-ready artwork, working across dielines, flexographic prepress, and vendor handoffs so labels and packaging are accurate, print-ready, and built for real-world constraints. Alongside packaging, I design the retail environment around the pack—endcaps, shelf displays, signage, and trade show/event environments. Whether I’m adapting artwork across multiple formats and retailers or managing 100+ client accounts through concurrent revisions, I focus on clear specifications, dependable production workflows, and designs that perform in grocery and national retail settings.
