To be a good ‘creative’ one must acquire knowledge, talent and passion.
To be a great ‘creative’ one must use the head, the heart and the hands
freely without trepidation and more importantly, with courage.

Based in the Northern suburbs of Johannesburg and inspired by everything around me, I have been considered a 'creative’ all my life. A passion for all things unique, beautiful and functional have given me a rather exceptional advantage in my chosen fields. With my knowledge of graphic design, my passion for teaching others with my gift, and my love for art and beauty, this site is dedicated to fulfilling your needs. If you are looking for a competent, qualified Graphic designer with a rather impressive portfolio - you’ve found her.
After graduating from The University of Pretoria with a BA Information Design Degree as well as Honours in Visual Communication (2009), I was fortunate enough to use my acquired skills to gain experience in the Advertising, Marketing and Media field. I have always had a passion for clean, elegant design. That, combined with real world working experience, gives me the edge as a freelance Graphic Designer. I have had the privilege of working on big name brands, in a fast paced working environment. I am able to conduct myself in a professional manner, insuring that all creative briefs and deadlines are met.
I have experience in branding, corporate communication, advertising, packaging and publishing (editorial). I specialize in print design and can create anything from Logo Design and Corporate Identity, Business cards, letterheads, website ‘Look and feels’, brochures, product packaging, wayfinding etc.
A recognizable graphic design element, a logo is the 'face' of any brand
The branding of collateral (ie business cards, letterheads etc)
Promotional methods such as catalog marketing, direct marketing, and email
A creative and commercial discipline that targets product consumers
Creating a new design or revamping an existing design, packaging is the 'face' of any product
From annual reports to in-house publications
A specialized form of sales promotion intended to draw the customers' attraction to products
This includes other collateral from invitations to certificate design and everything in between

There is nothing more important in life than passion. It is something I have believed for many years. The driving force behind great ideas and even better actions is the love and passion that guides us. I love what I do. It’s as simple as that. I also have excellent people skills and value my clients. I love working with people and especially enjoy bringing a little light into their lives by bringing their dreams to life, whether it be a new identity for their company, fulfilling a dream of becoming an artist or simply giving them a lasting memory.
I am an ambitious ‘go-getter’ with knowledge and experience. I use the gifts that were given to me: Head, Heart and Hands.
Christy’s designs have breathed new life into my Brand! Be it local or global, you can count on Triptych Creations to nurture your business as much as you do. We have a working relationship of 3 years and counting, and I wouldn’t dream of entrusting my business to any other.

We have worked with Christy for 2 or 3 years now. She is without doubt one of the most effective and reliable freelancers I have ever worked with. She intuitively gets most of our briefs. Her work is of the highest standard and her work ethic to meet our deadlines is fantastic. I would heartily recommend her to anyone, as long as she still has time for us.

Christy Garden aka Magical designer: On first meeting Christy I asked, "Do you enjoy what you do?”, with a big smile Christy replied: "I was born to do what I do”. After a brief meeting, a few suggestions of the vision I had in mind for my company logo, Christy confidently assured me I would shortly recieve the designs to choose from. Three days later Christy exceeded all expectations by sending not one but three fantastic designs that hit the nail on the head. Christy’s ability to envision , create and execute is incredible. A true talent. She truly is born to design. I recommend Christy to anyone with confidence and gaurentee a wonderful experience
