MY STORY
Christina Skinner BA, MFA
Born in Vancouver, BC
Works all over the place.
Hello.
I am a writer, communications strategist and successful entrepreneur with fifteen years’ experience in writing, communications, and successful brand development.
​
My passion is to use the key structure of story to connect and propel successful brands and communities.
​
I've worked for companies with big names and small names. I've helped transform small companies into big companies. I've created powerful videos. I've strategized and written communications, marketing, and business plans globally. I've brought ideas to life. I've increased followers and likes, and most importantly, built lasting communities.
Honestly, I've done a lot of things. Let's talk soon so we can do more things together.
