Christopher Maniet

My name is Christopher Maniet. Most recently, I worked as the Associate Director of Digital Design & Production at Austin College, a private 4-year liberal arts school located in Sherman, Texas. I have been with Austin College since 2014 and have progressed from Graphic Designer to my current position.  This institution was great for its close networking with Alumni, Students, Donors and other constituents of the college. My position was a combination of great digital media projects. Most current projects include overseeing the Social Media/Photography/Digital brand of the College. I also work in print, graphic design collateral for on and off-campus uses. I continue to stay involved with various special event photography from on-campus receptions and gatherings to district-wide conferences. 

I also currently own my own Graphic Design Production/Freelance company where I design, develop and produce various amounts of work, i.e. t-shirts, laser engraving, embroidery, greeting cards. On the more professional side, brochures, banners, desktop publishing, business cards, ID cards, logo development & branding. A newer addition to my freelancing, I have been working with the fantastic team at CS Week located in Sherman, Texas assisting with various print/digital projects for their company and conference. 

The reason for starting my own company and for as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by how things are made, I always wanted to break things down to figure out how companies did what they did. Once I self-researched the process I wanted to make my own products. I enjoy learning from peers and professionals, the different ways of developing a graphic to processing the final product.

I have had some amazing teachers in many areas of expertise, from directors teaching me productive ways of marketing my work to vice presidents of large corporations explaining why different mediums are effective in a professional environment.

During my college years, I worked as an assistant graphic designer in the marketing & development department at Sierra Nevada College on the shores of Lake Tahoe, with a couple of amazing supervisors and graphic designers. During my time there, I designed a large amount of various marketing & recruiting materials for the entire campus and community. They also offered me a tremendous amount of experience in managing & leading events, designing material for national publications and various publishing materials. Select pieces of my work have been featured in several published magazines and distributed all over the nation in projects including promotions & recruiting materials.

I hope this gives you a small look into my background of graphic design and I encourage everyone to take a look at my work in the portfolio section.
