Christian Broadbent about
Nice to meet you.

My name is Christian. I created Made True as an identity for my freelance work, specializing in illustration, branding, and visual design. I collaborate closely with my clients in strategy, design, and execution and am always available to discuss any design needs you may have.

As a multidisciplinary creative, I have spent nearly two decades delivering high-quality and cohesive experiences. My expertise includes building and managing brands, leading creative campaigns, and directing various creative work.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with major brands in the industry, such as Adobe, Starbucks, Reebok, and more. Along the way, I have worked with incredibly talented individuals, progressing in roles such as Senior Designer at Riser, Art Director at Thinkingbox, Senior Product Designer at 1800-Contacts, and Brand Manager at Digs.
