CHRISTIANNA JONES

Hiii, my name is Christianna Jones. I have been doing both photography and design work for half of a decade now. I studied both industries at Columbia College Chicago, receiving a degree in photography and a minor in graphic design.I have also spent 4+ years collaborating and working with local small businesses to help them turn their passions into a visually stunning success.

I now focus my efforts to helping Black Chicago Based Creatives turn their artistic talents into a profit. There is a real need for black representation in the design and photography industries.

I plan to create that representation and space through the Wise Beyond The Brand Company eventually expanding out and bringing more and more black creatives into the space healing that lack of representation. We are a great and mighty team of one, but plan to extend out in the future to other cities and places.

OUR VALUES

CREATIVITY

Foster innovation and artistic expression through both photography and graphic design, offering clients unique and custom solutions that stand out. Our business thrives on original, out of the box thinking, blending photography and design to create one of a kind visuals that capture attention.

REPRESENTATION

We give representation where there is a lack there of in both the photography and design industry. There are only 8% of black people in the photography industry and only 3% of black people in the design industry. It makes it 10 times harder for black women to get into both industries because they are male dominated making the percentages for black women that much lower. We strive to change that with our business.

COLLABORATION

Embrace the power of collaboration with clients - to ensure that the final product reflects shared vision and goals. Strong communication and teamwork are essential in integrating both photography and graphic design, ensuring the final product is a seamless blend of both disciplines that meet client expectations.

VISUAL STORYTELLING

We use both photography and graphic design as powerful tools to tell compelling stories and convey messages visually. Our business doesn't just create pretty pictures or designs - it tells stories, engages audiences, and communicates emotions through carefully crafted visuals that resonate with our clients target audience.
