About Me

Christina WilerHello,  my name is Christina Wiler and I am eager to introduce myself and let you know how I can help improve your company and move you forward.  Just underneath my name (above) you can download a .PDF version of my resume.  It’s the exact same information you will find right here in this electronic version, but one that you can print and take with you if you would like.

My husband, Tom, and I moved to Fort Wayne, IN in 2001 just before the birth of our first child.  Tom works for a local construction company and I have been working from home as a freelance web developer, graphic designer and social media manager while raising our 3 children for the last 6 years.  I hope that whatever path my life may take that I am granted with the opportunity to learn continually, faced with challenges that help me to grow and able to measure my success in terms of how much I have helped others.

Below is a short list highlighting some of my best qualifications and then by clicking the links at the top of the page, my work experience, education, recommendations and portfolio can be viewed.  The CONTACT link at the top will allow you to contact me at any time.  I look forward to hearing from you very soon!

Recommendations

“Very Talented Designer!  Created the Perfect Logo for our business.  Very Open to Direction and Feedback…..gave me many designs to choose from.  The hardest part was picking just one!”  Stacey Whitmeyer, Grey Goose,  November 14, 2011

“Fantastic support, understanding and assistant throughout the design process. Several excellent options to choose between. Very likely to work together again!!”  Steve Hough, The Dimwits, October 19, 2011

“Christina provided outstanding service to our company. We needed a brand and a website that was ideally suited to promote our image within the healthcare industry. She delivered exactly what was needed.

She has been continuously patient with our growth and changing needs–even as we remain in a period of flux and uncertainty. Her services were greatly appreciated.” Melanie Gobourne, WDC Advocates – hired more than once, September 28, 2011

“It was a great experience working with Christina to design our new company logo and stationery. She was very responsive to feedback, and provided a number of helpful suggestions. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, and are very much looking forward to working with her on our next project – designing our website. I highly recommend Christina.”  Bobbi Gohr, Sound Office Management – hired more than once, July 29, 2011

“Christina was wonderful to work with. She did a great job on our Sassi Bands Logo. She is easy to communicate with and delivered the Sassi vision exactly as we wanted. I would hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone with graphic design needs.”  Emily Bottner, Sassi Bands, July 24, 2011

“I used Christina recently to create a logo for a business project. She stood out from a number of other applicants in the beginning by actually following the brief. She was then very quick and creative at following up with ideas to change and improve the initial design. When I had a problem with file compatibility, she was quickly there with an alternative which fixed it.

I can’t imagine how she could have handled the process more competently or effectively.”   Dale Strickland-Clark, Sapphire Images, July 11, 2011

“I was lucky enough to stumble upon Christina when looking for someone to update my logo. Over the years I have had countless designers try their hand at capturing the intricacies of my company and brand and Christina was successful within the first round of designs! The amazing work she delivers and her flexibility with the process far exceeded the cost in time and money to finally get this project done. I highly recommend her!”  Julie Gray, Profound Impact – hired more than once, July 11, 2011
