CREATIVITY WITH SOUL
Bringing your brand to life
Helping people create freely
Hi, I’m Christie Burmester. I help people create freely in their business or in their sketchbook.
14 years in the creative industry as a Graphic Designer and Team Coach has afforded me great insight into what helps creators flourish and what keeps them stuck.
The ones who succeed aren’t perfect by any means, they’ve just learnt overcome obstacles by merging their ambition with grit and clear direction. These are the people I love working with.
Now, I specialise in helping people reflect their humanity in their brand through Design, Workshops, and Coaching.
P.S. Everything I write and design is made by me, robot-free.

“Christie helped us define our brand, introduce new ways of working, and showed us how to be inspired, organise creative thinking, to sharpen our output.
She was able to tangibly give us something that chartered design decisions across the school, raised the standard of our work, and helped the team feel more confident in how they approached and presented their ideas.”

"Christie's leadership has brought out the best in my creative practice. Her insights pushed my thinking, and her keen eye for detail elevates everything to a whole new level. What truly sets her apart is her ability to see potential beyond the surface, leading to brilliant and unexpected solutions. Her collaborative spirit ensures everyone feels valued and heard."

“Christie’s given me the confidence to show up as myself in social environments. I’ve improved negative self-talk, tapped into my authenticity, and navigate life with clearer purpose.
Since working with Christie, I’ve been able to deliver a vulnerable presentation to a big audience, speak up for myself in meetings, and even enjoy small talk—something I used to avoid at all costs.
Christie has a unique way of making you feel heard and validated. Her support—whether through mindset shifts, strategies, or encouragement—has been a game-changer for my personal and professional growth.
I feel more confident and grounded in my own skin, and now share my opinions and step into opportunities that once scared me.”

“As a Chiropractor, it’s hard to translate the science behind my work into something people can understand.
Christie took the time to really get to know me and what I do, even experiencing my work firsthand. That attention and care made a huge difference. She was patient, professional, and deeply invested in getting it right.”

But what stands out most is her unwavering dedication to elevating the people around her. Christie leads with heart, sharp judgement, and a genuine desire to see others succeed. Any team would be lucky to have her.”
