Christian San Jose, Creative Director at Create.ph.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Christian started his career as an Art Director at the country's renowned Team Manila Graphic Design Studio in 2007. Soon after, he transferred his focus to freelance illustration, and within a year set out to build an incredible body of work that emphasizes on colorful imagery and playful characters. In that span, he took his talents overseas and collaborated with clients such as Adobe Systems Inc., Cobra Starship, Paramore, and Quiksilver. His illustration piece titled "Mecha-Labaw", bagged the top prize in the 2009 Design By Humans $10,000 contest.

In 2011, he founded Create.ph, where leads a team of designers and developers as they craft simple and thoughtful solutions with the digital medium. The studio creates, develops, and maintains the branding, official websites, and social media presences of several high profile athletes, including Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Albert Pujols, Jimmy Rollins, and Brian Wilson. Create.ph has also previously worked with Def Jam Recordings, G.O.O.D. Music, FremantleMedia, The Coca-Cola Company, and Nike Inc.
