Christa StJean (Paperbag Designs)

The core team behind Paperbag Designs have over 30 years’ design, programming and online experience delivering tailored solutions to various sectors including Education, package delivery, tool manufacture, Internet service providers and tourism.

We work extensively with third party service providers and agencies to ensure that the best possible blend of talent goes into every project. From web layout to Search Engine Optimization, from e-commerce to large-scale database migration.

We provide Wordpress CMS site design, static site conversion, custom themes and Sagepay ecommerce for UK small and medium sized businesses. Full installation, upgrade service and support.

Our graphic design services includes web graphics, themes and templates, book covers and book illustration.

My role in the current business is graphic design and most of the visual aspects of layouts, and I also own the business together with a partner. In the past I've lived in the US and owned two web developement firms as a result. I came to the UK a bit more than 7 years ago. I guess it goes without saying that I'm multi-lingual.

I am originally born and raised in Sweden, but traveled a lot in the past and finally decided to settle down here in England. My background is design and art, and when I'm not involved in building themes, templates or other layouts, I most likely do digital painting. Book covers and book illustrations also belong to my part of the business.
