Christian Aronsen: Creative Director, Co-Founder

Every creative services company needs its inspirational muse. Christian is ours. His pure creative talent melts like liquid mercury over projects ranging from world-renowned hotel design, to product conceptualization to studies in consumer behavior.

Read Christian's 20 page CV and you'll think he’s closer to 80 than 40. For the past 15 years, his skills have been in high demand around the world in the realm of architecture and interior design. A demand he has satisfied through a series of consultancies, constant travel and liberal appearances on the lecture circuit. Prior to starting WELCOME TO ORANGE COUNTY, Christian was founder and creative director of X10 ­ Extension Arquitectura y Media and Hospitality Around the World.

Christian has studied architecture and art at such prestigious universities as UC Berkeley, Lund University of Technology, Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen and New York's Parson's School of Design. But despite having such a fine pedigree there is nothing Christian enjoys more than relaxing under the palms and having a good chat about the asymmetrical patterns of medieval town planning, minutiae of pillow tassels and chandelier fixtures.
