Christopher Alvarado
A native of southern California, Christopher Alvarado was one of the select graduates of the Los Angeles High School for the Arts, where design and visual arts form the core of the curriculum. After beginning his education at Art Center College of Design as an illustration major, Alvarado soon discovered that spatial design was a more suitable medium for him when he transferred into the environmental design department.

At Art Center, Alvarado has worked on large projects with corporate sponsors such as Panasonic and Nestlé. For Panasonic, he designed an interactive environment focusing on education as part of a ubiquitous lifestyle in the year 2014. The Nestlé project required building a new corporate brand and inventing new methods of product development, production, packaging and distribution to the consumer.

Alvarado’s project experience at Art Center is the catalyst for working toward a career in conceptual system design. He is inspired by the process of European automotive design and the collaboration of concept, lifestyle and technology.
