HISTORY & EXPERIENCE
About
Many creative people call themselves ‘storytellers’. That’s cute.
Me? I’m a problem solver – been doing it my whole life.

HISTORY
Hi. I’m Christopher Sanna, and I am a creative consultant. Born & raised in New York.
Now based in Atlanta. I make cool things for interesting people.
My approach is grounded in the belief that good design must create an authentic connection with the person interacting with it. I approach each project with this philosophy in mind, bringing a unique perspective and a tireless work ethic to every endeavor. As a result, my work has earned recognition and respect from my peers, highlighting the impact and quality of my contributions in today’s competitive landscape.
It all starts simply with pen, paper, and a conversation, because every great idea begins with understanding. I dig deep to uncover what truly drives a brand and turn that insight into bold, strategic creative that not only solves business problems but does it in a way that’s smart, unexpected, and effective. My goal is to deliver work that makes a difference, thoughtful, calculated, and always exceeding expectations.
Throughout my 30+ year career, I have collaborated with some of the world’s most influential brands, including Nikon, Warner Music Group, First Data, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, ConnexPay, Clover, and Advocate. I have helped these companies deliver visuals and messaging that are disruptive, engaging, and memorable. MY work with these brands and many others has solidified my reputation as a creative leader.
As co-founder and creative director of Atomic Wash, I was hands-on in guiding and leading the agency from a tiny startup in my basement to a multi-million dollar boutique agency over the course of a decade, with a portfolio of tangible and measurable results for our clients. After selling the firm in 2019, I retired from the rigors of agency life in 2020, opting to do freelance creative consulting for a few select clients.
