About Christine Amber Design

Art & Design with Heart, Story, and Soul

I have been creating for as long as I can remember with my mother as my primary influencer and teacher. Art has always been my way of exploring the world, making sense of emotions, and finding beauty in unexpected places.

ChristineAmberDesign was born in 2011, not from a grand plan, but from a simple act of joy—I hosted an impromptu painting class for friends because I believed creativity should feel free and fun. That one night led to opportunities I never expected, from showcasing my art at a recycled fashion show to becoming an active artist in the Fort Collins community, all thanks to the encouragement of my peers.

But my creative path didn’t stop at painting. My sister, an incredible graphic designer, first introduced me to the world of design and branding (though, admittedly, I resisted at first!). Years later, in 2019, I found myself deeply immersed in brand management and graphic design, helping a company through a full rebranding process. I realized I had a gift for not just making things look beautiful, but for making them intentional, clear, and deeply resonant. That passion led me to Human-Centered Design—because it is my belief that the way people experience art, spaces, and websites should always feel intuitive and welcoming.

Through all of this, I’ve come to see art and design as tools for growth, clarity, and connection. Whether it's a painting waiting for its perfect person, a mural bringing a space to life, or a website that allows a heart-centered entrepreneur to be seen and understood, my goal is the same: to create with meaning.

My Artistic Style & Process.

I’d describe my work as intuitive, joyful, and deeply intentional. I explore different styles, always curious about new techniques and challenges, but at the core, my creations are guided by emotion, symbolism, and connection.

🌿 Nature & Symbolism: Every flower, animal, or color I use carries meaning. I believe that art has its own energy, so I take great care to ensure that what I create puts positivity into the world.

🎨 Messy & Unscripted: My painting process is pure, chaotic joy—I smear paint on my pants, clean brushes on my sleeves, and let the colors guide me. Sometimes, I paint backgrounds first, then let them "speak" to me when the right image emerges.

🖥️ User-Centered Design: In my graphic design work, I take the same approach—creating seamless, calming, and inspiring online spaces that allow people to find exactly what they need with ease.

Who I Create For.

I create for those who seek meaning, connection, and beauty.

🖌️ For art lovers—who want a piece that speaks to them, tells a story, or simply brings joy.

💻 For heart-centered entrepreneurs—who need a cohesive, welcoming online presence that reflects their unique vision.

🌿 For those who believe that beauty opens the heart, invites reflection, and fosters connection.

Lifelong Artist
I’ve been painting since I was two years old. A mentor once told me, “That’s when your training truly began”—and I’ve carried that with me ever since. With 36 years of practice, painting is more than a skill—it’s a language I’ve been speaking nearly my whole life.
