I’ve made a career out of bringing style, beauty, and functionality to every project. From large to small, every design task is an opportunity to shine. The scope of my work encompasses industrial design, marine design, graphic design, furniture design, and illustration. Today it is this multi-faceted background and broad creative bandwidth that sets me apart as a designer.

Every successful project begins with establishing a strong relationship with the client based around trust and communication, understanding the client’s expectations, developing a close and meaningful rapport with the builder and vendors, and turning potential problems into opportunities on the way to delivering their tailor made dream.

For 18 years I served as Senior Designer and Creative Director at Delta Marine — one of the world's most respected custom yacht builders. In that role I led all in-house design across every project that left the yard: exterior styling, interior design, general arrangement, furniture, artwork selection, and client relationships from first sketch to final delivery. It is a depth of shipyard-side experience that is genuinely rare among independent yacht designers, and it informs everything that comes through Christian Oliver Design today.

Early in my career I designed smaller production vessels for Meridian Yachts, an experience that taught me how to value engineer my designs to meet project specifications, incorporate build-efficiency, and offer class-leading design and features that make the end product more desirable and profitable. I apply these same core principles to my more elaborate custom projects.
