Christina noland | designer & client Partner

 YetiCorns gravitate toward people like Christina because she helps others see and develop hidden potential within themselves, and because she uses classic emoticons way too much.

PROFESSIONAL PATH TO COMPASS 

Christina graduated Washburn University Institute of Technology in 2017 with a certificate in graphic design and graduated from Washburn University with a BA in Mass Media in 2023 with an emphasis in advertising and public relations.

During her time at Washburn University, Christina carried multiple roles across campus as a marketing intern, graphic design assistant, managing editor and creative director. She found herself leading every group project she was put in and discovered she had a knack for putting herself in other people’s shoes to help them develop strategies that would deliver results regardless of what life would throw their way. Christina’s last year as an undergrad was spent as Editor-in-Chief of Washburn Student Media’s Indigo Magazine and Kaw Yearbook, a duo-responsibility position that expanded her skillsets in problem-solving, leadership and project management.

Christina has lived in Topeka all her life and is dedicated to using her talents in strategy and visual storytelling to bring positive change to the community she calls home.

THE FUN STUFF 

Christina is an award-winning designer and journalist. An avid tabletop enthusiast, she treasures the rare moments that she can bring her world building and game design experience into brainstorming sessions.

When focused on a project, you can find her jamming out to music or politely questioning her computer on why certain software makes a graphic designer’s life difficult. However, you can find Christina in the wild more often stepping into the mentor role and helping junior designers, photographers and journalists level up their skills.
