I have spent hundreds of hours designing, building and thinking about heart-felt brands.

This course is the result of that. And includes what I see as the biggest missing link: aligning Brands to their captains from the inside out.

After running a Branding studio for more than 10 years, and specialising in women-oriented businesses, I now know that a pretty Brand is just not enough.

What matters more is the person who runs it: her mindset, her stories, and the clarity she has around her business and brand. This is what really determines whether her entrepreneurial dream flies or fails.

When she gets stuck, when fear confuses her and Brand uncertainty overwhelms her, she retreats and slows down.

I want
to change that
hello there,I'm Cristina.
I’m a passionate Brand Strategist committed to changing the world – one businesswoman at a time.

For more than 10 years now, my team and I have created and implemented Brands all over the world across many industries. Our work has been widely published and our clients’ businesses have flourished and grown.

I’ve worked closely with women, mentoring them to take action on their dreams and holding their hands as they launch. In the process I’ve made it my thing to study, research and understand what’s truly required to ignite a business idea.

Introducing

An empowering online course where I teach you what it takes to build an exquisite Brand, give you my top tools for aligning it to your heart, and then train you to create an unforgettable experience for your tribe!

and read what they have to say about our work together
  • I went into the Think, Brand Feel School with a bunch of ideas that I thought would help me turn my dream into a reality. I came out with a completely new way of thinking!  I thought I just needed some fancy excel worksheet or savvy finance app and ‘bingo’ the wheels would start rolling. I’d be the owner of a successful business.  Ahhhh – how wrong I was! It was Cristina’s insights, research and gentle guidance that helped me to see that my biggest stumbling block was ME! I was the Queen of hiding, and all I really needed was to get out of my own way. Through the process of TBF School, Cristina offered a deep and profound look into business. Not only the ‘nuts and bolts’ but she encouraged me to look at the reasons why I’m doing what I’m doing. To re-ignite the passion behind the business. Although the outcome was very different to what I originally thought I needed, I now know that it’s exactly the path I need to be treading. In a journey that can sometime seems so lonely, I’m so grateful Cristina is treading that path with me.

    Robbie Smyth

    Founder Rugget

  • I can’t believe what an incredible process this has been.  I have intuited some of it and plodded along but now I feel like I have the facts, the theory and have to be accountable! Thank you Cristina.

    Rachael O'Byrne

  • I really have grown and progressed exponentially since starting this incredible journey with you. Your spirit, strength, wisdom, and effervescence astound me. I could honestly listen to you talk all day!

    Jade Cartwright

  • Working with Cristina has been an amazing experience.  When I first met Cristina, I only had barebones of an idea for a business that I wanted to start and I wasn't even sure it was something that was viable.  I had no business background and no experience in the industry I wanted to move into. Through our sessions and the "homework" she assigned me, I quickly came to realize that I absolutely could do it.   Her demeanour and acumen boosted my confidence in myself and helped me hone in on exactly what I wanted to be doing with my business and the image I wanted to project with my brand. Cristina's thoughtfulness and positive energy helped me key on what I needed to do to establish a business, that included everything from how to go about establishing a task manager to advice on what kind of social media to focus on.  She has helped me establish the visual and emotional foundations of my brand and I return to her notes and comments from our sessions again and again. Best of all, Cristina is a cheerleader who is not afraid to point out when some of my ideas may be going off in a different direction from my brand. Having honest advice and feedback has been wonderful. Cristina has also been flexible in working with my schedule to set up online video calls that worked with both of our time zones.  We are quite far away from each other physically but she made it easy to work together - and I never felt the distance. I cannot recommend Cristina more highly - time with her is an investment in yourself and your business.

    Marisa Walsh

    Founder Mercury Clothiers, United States

  • Cristina kept me focused on my priorities pre-launch whilst providing invaluable advice and guidance on my brand’s positioning, communication and marketing. She is a trusted and esteemed sounding board and I continue to find her advice and guidance invaluable. What is most unique about Cristina is her ability to simultaneously positively impact your personal development and self-awareness. She’s professional, kind, caring, intelligent and provides a global and leading-edge perspective. I am extremely grateful to Cristina for her service and soul!

    Melissa Italiano

    Founder Melis Perfumery

  • I have been working with Cristina for a few months now and in that time she has helped me transform both my business and my mindset in a way that has set me on the path of growth I have been aiming for. Cristina seems to have a gift for pinpointing areas of weakness and demonstrating how they can be strengthened, while simultaneously showing up areas that are unique and strong, and showing how to shine a light on them. Her knowledge of all aspects of modern business is comprehensive, and it all goes under her microscope! She has been skilful at treading that fine line between challenging long-held beliefs, while continually inspiring to keep moving forward - the shift this has brought about has been quite remarkable. She is able to draw on knowledge from a wide range of sources, and this combined with her own unique magic is quite a force. I am now feeling both empowered and excited about the future of my business and look forward to receiving Cristina’s guidance on this journey for a long time to come.

    Marion O'Leary

    Founder Mokosh, Australia

  • Cristina. Fought to life one of my most sort after dreams, she assisted to craft the story of me and my passion and then wove it into a packaged product that would help me reach my audience. I really enjoyed the journey into why I was doing this and what I wanted to do as a goal. 

    Beautiful artistry and a Friendly inspiring nature - the experience left me touched, loved and inspired about my brand.

    Pamella Zakostelsky

    Founder Miss Vitality, Australia

  • When I started my business, Basiligo, healthy food delivery – I had no experience in the food, marketing, packaging industries. Yet I was a determined young female entrepreneur to create a quality product that would change my community’s healthy eating habits. My business starting point was creating my logo and brand. I thought that was simple task of just a logo. However, I came across Cristina’s site and got in touch. Little did I know that my initial call with her, that her advice and strategic direction would dictate the success of my company and brand. Gracious, encouraging, and full of vision – Cristina guided me through the importance of building a strategic brand image. Her character is naturally collaborative and creative. Her global perspective helped with creating a brand that translates across many cultures and languages (which is required in the United Arab Emirates)!

    Cristina’s strategic design coaching for our initial sessions has resonated throughout my company still this day (two years later!) and her advice is critical to the success of our company. Whether one is just starting or improving their businesses, one should never underestimate the importance of considering to integrate a creative and value added design strategic contributor the to team.

    Justine Corrado,

    Managing Partner Basiligo, United Arab Emirates

  • Working with Wallnut was a the beginning of a special relationship and a synergy for dreaming big. My brand lived in my head and thanks to Wallnut, it was birthed into everything I had envisioned. Thank you for dreaming with me and for creating this magical world I know live in.

    Sarah MacMillan

    Be Generation Love, USA

  • I'm so grateful to have met and collaborated with Cristina to create The Joy Society brand. She intuitively understood my vision and helped me to bring it to life!

    In particular, her detailed process of drawing out our brand story was so valuable. Throughout this journey, Cristina listened carefully and helped me to shape how we share this story with others.  Since working together, Cristina has become a trusted advisor. I value her opinion and listen carefully to her perspective. She is wise and kind; a beautiful combination. I hope you have the opportunity to spend time with her

    Chris Clements-Shepherd

    Director The Joy Society, Australia

  • Christina is a dream to work with! We consulted with her on ideas for our brand's design direction and launch of the collection. She was a great sounding board for all our ideas, always prepared for the calls, guided us through the process and gave valuable inputs which helped make the collection a success with our customer. She's the perfect mix of designer, marketer, strategist, and aesthete. Such a rare combination!

    Avneet Mann

    CEO and Founder, The Wishing Chair, India

  • Ideas come together when I sit to work with Cristina. Her way of formulating questions, her brilliant ability of intertwining concepts make a brand go way beyond expected, allowing it to convey messages full of value and emotion. Developing a unique style is always a challenge, but she has done exactly that by creating for us something  remarkable, timeless, honest, and different that till today still gets to my heart!

    Carolina Malabet

    Former Designer Estivo, Colombia

  • Starting a new project is like giving birth. To find on the road of creation, a sophisticated, subtle, and profoundly committed human being with integrity and such dedication is a gift of life. Cristina has walked beautiful roads with me always, understanding what comes from my heart and making it happen with such exquisiteness and delicacy. I feel immense gratitude for this. Without a doubt, she is my best recommendation for any new dreamer, she makes everything with a timeless and meaningful soul. She is a designer with consciousness, and that for me is invaluable. She is a great friend and adventure companion.

    Johanna Isaac

    Made of Stars, Colombia

  • Something magical happens when I collaborate with Cristina!  Of course she offers professionalism and strategic thinking but there is so much more that Cris brings to the table.  Projects transform and gain their own momentum.  Creativity and confidence seem to blossom, ideas take shape and grow and the project at hand develops a real personality.  Cris's passion and talent, mixed together with her ability to encourage, challenge and stimulate ideas in a professional and caring manner, makes her a respected choice when I have a project that I need help with.

    Katrina Lodge

    Feel Good Inc, Australia

  • I came to Cristina searching for help to re-build my website as my professional goals were changing and becoming quite complex.     Cristina had an amazing ability to challenge me from a rigorous yet loving place.  With her great coaching skills, she guided me into discovering not only how I wanted to be perceived, but what I really wanted to offer to my clients.   Working with Cristina goes far beyond from simply choosing a color scheme or a website theme.  She supported me to develop all the concepts and to connect with the right team of professionals for an amazing result. I can confidently say, that Cristina helped me achieve all the clarity that I didn't have to present myself to the world in a more coherent way as a multidimensional professional." 

    Sandra Carvajal

    Latin2Yoga, Hong Kong

  • When I feel self-doubt, fear, anxiety and overwhelm, Cristina is the one I turn to for guidance. Her power is in seeing through all the fog and getting to the core of the issue that's keeping me stuck.  When I first came to Cristina I was in crisis, personally and professionally I was a red hot mess! With her mentorship I moved beyond crippling fear and self doubt and have created a business and a lifestyle that I love, that is more fulfilling than I could have believed at the beginning. I've been through an intense period of personal growth and Cristina has guided me in the right direction at times I felt like I didn't know where to go.  I'm always learning from her, she draws from a deep pool of experience, knowledge and resources that I benefit from. Most of all she is a intuitive and generous woman and I feel like my cup is fuller after every conversation I have with Cris. 

    Simone Nabholz

    Winterwares, Australia

  • Highly intuitive, intelligent and creative, Cristina is a delight to work with and I thoroughly recommend her as an original and imaginative collaborator in the branding process.  One of Cristina’s many high level skills is her ability to listen and translate unclear branding ideas into something beautiful, delightful and relevant. Cristina gently and patiently guided me through the Branding process of Take Two and she was able to transform ideas into a product that is truly stunning. She has been instrumental in the gorgeous branding of Take Two and I could not be more thrilled with her careful and loving support during the process.  Warm, loving and always kind; Cristina went above and beyond on all levels and was excellent value for money. Her passion and commitment are palpable. I am looking forward to working with Cristina again as I develop my product and I know she is a perfect high quality fit for Take Two.

    Annette Phillips

    CEO TAKE TWO App, Australia

  • I first came to Cris to help rebrand my Health Coaching business. After our first meeting she knew me, my essence and what I was about. Through this process she created my beautiful online home which I absolutely love. Her incredible gift has been to help me identify the mental road blocks sabotaging my business growth, preventing action and keeping me ‘small’. She does this by gently, knowingly identifying exactly what’s going on. Then with a suite of tools up her sleeve, she clearly recommends next steps to move me forward confidently and happily. After every session I know exactly what’s to happen next. It’s clear, fun and exciting. Most recently I’ve worked with Cris on the launch of my online program. In the past I’ve felt very ‘stuck’ in promoting and sharing it online and been quite stressed without enjoying the process. This time around it’s happened with ease and flow thanks to her soulful, intuitive and direct guidance. She not only sees and holds the vision for my work and looks ahead for potential roadblocks, she breaks it down into practical, step x step actions, making it all progress and happen - easily! I’ve worked with many different coaches and Cristina is unique. She is always a step ahead of me, yet right there beside me. Her mentoring is invaluable. I am very fortunate to have had Cris by my side at this critical time in my business. I absolutely adore Cris and I adore working with her. She has a unique capacity to tap into your soul and bring it alive within your brand. Thank you from my heart.

    Kate Barnes

  • My conversations with Cris take me on a journey to examine to realise that I had only my level of clarity. Her clarity is beyond mine when it comes to presenting myself. I re-examine my direction like a navigator who has been presented with a new set of charts. That is Cristina’s expertise. She holds the experience of so many past success stories, which expands my possibilities of myself. Cristina has the formula. Expect to be uncomfortable, expect to be challenged, expect to succeed.

    Helen MCcarthy

    Inner Spin, Australia

  • What really struck me about working with Cristina was her ability to draw out my core message. She helped me find real clarity in my voice and that is what has taken my brand to the next level. When I first started working with Cristina I had no idea that the most powerful gift she would give me was a strong and consistent message and identity that stands out in the crowded online space and most of all is uniquely me.

    Julia Jones

    Newborn Mothers, Australia

  • Working with Cristina was the best investment decision I’ve made for my brand. It took me years to finally take the plunge and work officially under my own name. Cristina’s support and guidance was crucial: she helped me identify my true potential and value proposition. Every call was like a trip to empowerment land that left me with a big smile on myself and full of energy, willpower and with the certainty that I was creating something worth making. Cristina helped me visualize and draw up a strategy to turn everything I had ever dreamed of doing with my brand, into a reality. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Cristina’s support. She has the gift of seeing you beyond your fears and picture you doing what you dream of doing in full potential. Once she shared that vision with me, there was no turning back: for the first time, I realized what I could deliver and KNEW it would work out and the journey would be an amazing one. Every time I’m struck by fear, I go back to our conversations to revise my plan and reconnect with my true purpose. I can redesign business Ideas with the big picture in mind and, best of all, without losing myself in the process. If you want to build an amazing brand, but feel stuck or need an extra push, Cristina is the person you should work with. She’ll help you turn your ideas and dreams into a strategic plan full of short, medium and long term goals and will help you reconnect with the inner strength you need to clear up the way and overcome any obstacle.

    Eva Medalla

    Eva Medalla Brand Consultant, Uruguay

  • When I began my journey with Cristina I had no idea I was going to be on such an intense journey or Personal and Business development. I thought that she would do all the work and I would just be given something beautiful back at the end, how wrong I was.   Yes I was given a stunning and Professional Brand design but it was through Cristina’s unique and loving peeling back of layers and creative enthusiasm that led me to my deepest desires and passion within my business and myself.   Cristina and her team literally held my hand through the whole process in such a professional and individual way but also had such huge belief in me that I was capable far beyond what I was seeing.   To have someone have so much belief in who you are as a woman and how you are going to impact the world with your gifts… well that is soul changing and maybe I haven’t realised it until right in this moment but my future will never be the same because of the magic of Wallnut Studio and the creative soul Cristina who I am forever grateful to.

    Jarna Saunders

    Daya Clarity Coaching, Australia

  • We approached Cristina at Wallnut Studio because of the pure quality of her work and more importantly because of ‘how’ she works. The strategic thinking and deep thought that had gone into her other clients brand development was inspiring. And of course, we wanted the same quality-oriented and nuanced approach for the development of our first My Career Rhythms brand. We needed someone to help us figure out what was most important to our startup and to us as individual Founders. Not only what we wanted our logo to represent, but how we wanted to ‘be’ with our clients and service providers and all who came into contact with our business. As a startup Founder herself, Cristina not only acted as a brand expert, but as a Business Mentor, a Coach and an Educator. Just one conversation with Cristina and you’ll be buzzing about how exciting your life is and what you and your business could achieve. I found the experience extremely rewarding and often at times touching. She holds the space for you with tenderness and eagerness and invites you to bring your ‘whole person’ to the process. I would love to recommend the services of Wallnut Studio to any aspiring business owner whether you’re at the beginning of your business journey or you’ve already made headway and feeling like now is the time for a refresh. The process will re-energise both you and your business.

    Sheonaigh Rennie

    My Career Rhythms, Australia

  • I first started working with Cristina a few years ago. I needed to rebrand my business and build a new website. The experience was amazing. Not only did I get a world class design and service, but she worked with me on such a personal level and helped me overcome so many fears I had around running my business. My workload is now so much less and my businesses gained momentum, making them financial more viable and they now stand out amongst the rest in my field. Cristina is an incredibly motivating and driven woman and has such a dynamic way of working.  She is highly efficient, with such attention to detail and really acts as a business mentor/motivator. My life has seriously benefitted from working with this beautiful goddess and sometimes I really cannot believe how fortunate I have been to have met her and work with her. We are now working on more projects and I have inspiration to succeed and less fear around being “Big”. Words actually can’t describe how I feel about Cristina. Thank you so much beautiful Cristina, you’ve completely enhanced my life.

    Kate Porotto

    Fremantle Yoga Centre, Australia

  • I met Cristina when my business was just an idea, a dream, and I was a bit nervous to launch it. She believed in me and my business from the start. She encouraged me and helped me bring my brand to life. She listened to what I wanted to convey to my audience and translated it into a beautiful website and brand. And she went beyond that. During the time we worked together I trusted her as a business partner and learned about strategy and e-business. Her kindness, non-judgment creativity and knowledge made it a delight to work with her. She continues to be an important part of my business.

You feel you’re on a rollercoaster – one minute you’re filled with huge self-belief and then you fall down with ‘who am I to shine?’
