About
I’m Christen Cutrona, a Los Angeles–based graphic designer with over 15 years of experience in branding, illustration, packaging, and event‑focused graphics. I’ve delivered concepts and production‑ready designs for a diverse client base, including individuals, small businesses, and event planners, with roles at Maude Press and Beth Helmstetter Events that emphasize identity, stationery, signage, and previsualization.
I love collaborating with clients to craft memorable experiences through thoughtful typography, print production, and polished visuals. When I’m not designing, I draw inspiration from art, architecture, and sustainable design, always seeking to tell stories visually that endure.
