Christian Hanson

Creative Associate

From an early age, Christian channeled a deep passion for creativity through technology, where a creative instinct and computer-nerd curiosity naturally converged. Over more than 15 years of hands-on, self-taught learning, he developed a multidisciplinary skill set spanning digital design, branding, web development, motion graphics, visual media, as well as a knack for creative problem solving, building real-world expertise outside traditional education paths. Today, that background informs his work as a Creative Associate at SideCar Public Relations.

At SideCar, Christian is a key component of the Creative Team, helping craft engaging, strategic visual content across digital and print platforms. His role centers on:
  • Partnering with the Creative Director to shape brand direction, visual identities, and creative solutions for clients.
  • Translating creative concepts into polished, production-ready assets; from early mockups to final execution.
  • Ensuring cohesive, consistent branding by aligning visual design with messaging from the Communications team across every client touchpoint.

Music was Christian’s first creative outlet and remains a core influence on his work. He began his journey as a designer in his hometown’s local music scene, cutting his teeth creating album artwork, gig flyers and learning the ins and outs of digital and event marketing. This early foundation sharpened his visual instincts, sense of storytelling and lit the path for him into a career as a full-time professional freelance designer. Throughout his career, Christian has partnered with a wide range of agencies and businesses, contributing creatively across industries including real estate, aesthetic medicine, hospitality, structural engineering, and the creator economy.

Originally from Idaho, Christian relocated to Denver in 2022 and joined SideCar in 2024. Outside of work, Christian spends his time producing music, playing video games, enjoying live music, and indulging a lifelong fascination with theme parks and roller coasters, alongside camping, hiking, and exploring Colorado with his partner and their energetic labrador-rottweiler.
