About

My name is Christy.

But sometimes, when my mom is angry with me, I go by Xrysanthy.

I've been specialising in Conversation Design for the last five years. However, before donning this hat, I wore many others. At Associated Media Publishing I wrote for Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and Good Housekeeping. I was a regular feature writer for Essays of Africa magazine, and also worked as a content and UX writer for clients of every shape and size – insurance companies, telcos, beauty brands, and then some.​

​

My first book, Things Even González Can't Fix, was released by NB Publishing in 2018. It's a work of non-fiction that explores sexual freedom, growing up in a wacky Greek family, and finding the strength to have the hard conversations.

​

My love for Conversation Design draws from all areas of my expertise. It is storytelling bolstered by human psychology and a deep understanding of the users who will be engaging with a service or product. It's the loveliest puzzle I am fortunate enough to spend my days building.​
