We first met Christine and Cstudio Design via an RFP we placed for a graphic design concept for our annual gala. Christine and her team produced excellent results throughout the entire process. We absolutely loved their design concepts and found the team approachable and flexible. I would highly recommend Cstudio Design Design.
—Marisa Olsen, Marketing & Communications Manager, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council
Cstudio Design developed a new logo for the Kim Center for Social Balance that we absolutely love. We have a very public-oriented mission, so I know that we’re lucky to have connected with Christine from the start. She really took the time to understand our mission, our process, and our personality. This was particularly important because we need the versatility to appeal to both corporate and popular audiences across a range of media – from marketing collateral to our website to social media to research reports. Christine is insightful in the creative process but also in strategizing as a nonprofit – a powerful combination of skills – and I’m definitely looking forward to working with her on our future needs.

I have worked with Christine Sullivan of Cstudio Design personally since 2002 and she has been a great help to our publishing company as a whole. In addition to designing many book covers and interiors for me over the years, she’s also helped our marketing and publicity departments in creating catalogs, ads, and other marketing materials.
I feelCstudio Design’s fresh, clean, contemporary sense of style will be of great benefit to any promotional effort.
— Maury Botton, Senior Managing Editor & Art Director, The New Press
Christine worked with us to develop a website design that could speak to several different audiences, including activists, donors, and the media. She created a design for our site that conveys professionalism without compromising our credibility with grassroots activists.
We love the design of our new site and have received glowing feedback from both long-time members of our organization and curious first-time visitors.
—Heidi Boghosian, Executive Director, National Lawyers Guild
I have appreciated Christine’s strong work ethic and ability to quickly complete projects for us, working with both Art Conservation Group employees and outside vendors. She is able to translate our ideas into compelling visuals and communication is always easy. I highly recommend Christine and Cstudio Design to any organization looking for a talented, hard-working graphic designer who can deliver extraordinary branding and messaging.

Christine Sullivan has been a dream to work with. I personally selected her and her company Cstudio Design out of more than a hundred applicants because her work initially struck me as polished, visionary, clean and very professional. Ever since, I have not had one single regret. She delivers exactly what she promises and she could not be more polite, approachable, or accessible. I intend to use her for many more years to come.
