Hi, thanks for stopping by my site. My name is Christian Collard and I am a creative professional. You will find a collection of my latest projects on this site as well as a little information about myself. Please feel free to comment and connect with me: twitter / facebook.
The Photographer
Photography and digital imaging are a passion of mine. I have carried a camera with me ever since I could remember. My Nikon D7000 is by far, my most valued toy. I follow the latest in digital photography and shoot professionally on the side. My favorite projects are portraits and shots that include personality. I am working on building a portfolio of senior pictures, engagements, and children – so please stay tuned. If you are interested in my photography or would like to hire me for a local event, please contact me.
The Designer & Developer
I have been designing products for both paper and pixel since 1998. I have a degree in Graphic Communications as well as countless projects under my belt. I have designed and developed several websites for both private business and personal projects. A couple of my biggest projects were New England Getaway (2002) and Thirty Magazine (2010). Both projects were built from a simple idea and developed into profitable online publications (both are under new ownership).
The Marketer
I currently work full-time for a leading direct marketing company in Massachusetts. I provide my programming and design skills to produce targeted marketing. I also provide sales support and marry companies to the right products and niche marketing opportunities. If you have any interest in using direct mail for your business, please contact me… I’d love to help.
The Printer
While I admit to be somewhat of an online junkie and social media addict, my first love was in print. My career started running a press in high school and an internship shooting negatives and “stripping” for a service bureau. (I also have a weakness for buying California job cases at garage sales). I have dedicated over 10 years of my life to learning the fundamentals of true graphic arts. While the world may be turning to the web, print is still an important and valuable media outlet.
The Rest
I currently live in the hills of Central Massachusetts, where I was born. I enjoy the quiet life of a small farm-town with my lovely wife and three awesome kids.
