Career Milestones

My Design Journey

A practical journey from independent design work to agency projects, music-platform promotion, and professional print production.

I began designing in 2016 through Chrisart Designs, working directly with musicians, businesses, and other clients. Since then, I have built experience across agency design, digital content, branding, and print production.

2016–2024 · Chrisart Designs

Started as an independent designer, creating logos, promotional flyers, music artwork, event graphics, and visual materials for musicians, businesses, and individual clients. This period built my foundations in client communication, creative problem-solving, and managing design projects from brief to delivery.

2025–Present · Hustle Media Production

Working as a Graphic Designer creating promotional artwork, social media content, branding materials, and visual assets for client campaigns. I focus on clear communication, consistent brand presentation, and designs prepared for their intended platforms.

Justmalawi · Music & Entertainment

I manage graphic design and content creation for Justmalawi, a Malawian music and entertainment platform. My work includes artist promotions, release artwork, weekly chart graphics, social media campaigns, and visual content that helps connect artists with listeners.

2024 · Momasu Investment

Worked in graphic design and printing, developing practical knowledge of print preparation, artwork setup, production requirements, and finishing. This experience strengthened my ability to design with both screen and physical output in mind.

This hands-on path has helped me balance creative thinking with clear communication, brand consistency and practical delivery.
