Christian Elden’s Summary

I'm a freelance artist & staff designer/illustrator for a Christian resource publisher based in Anderson, Indiana. I design and illustrate in several styles, lending flexibility and creative freedom to the projects of those who seek out my services. I'm proud of the relationships I've gained over the years, business and otherwise, and strive to build trust with clients by giving them exactly what they need, when they need it.

Christian Elden Creative

(Graphic Design industry)

February 2007 — Present (2 years 6 months)

Officially, I've only been operating as Christian Elden Creative since February of 2007, but I've been freelancing since I was a student at Huntington College (now Huntington University). I do print/collateral design, logo/identity design, ad layout, custom web graphics, as well as traditional & digital illustration for magazines, newspapers, trade publications, websites and children's activity books, among other things. A few recent clients include The National Reading Styles Institute, Angie's List, Tajima Creative, Health Systems International and Carson-Dellosa Publishing.

I also act as a copywriter for the likes of PourHouse.org, Phocatox Technologies, PotatoMammaDesign, illustratorgroupsoup.com and Steve Johnson Advertising, and recently had writings purchased by Focus On The Family.
