BOEKE

BRANDING + E-COMM WHIZ

Blonde woman on the street in Tribeca

Hello, I’m Christa! I have 20+ years of experience in building retail-focused brands and crafting strategic visions that drive awareness, brand recognition, and increase revenue. I focus on DTC e-commerce and everything that goes with it – branding, marketing, creative direction, licensing, and partnerships - bringing my strong vision and entrepreneurial spirit to every project. I’m as comfortable in the C-Suite as I am on the floor with gaff tape on my wrist or remerchandising the shelves. And, I’m pretty fun.


ABOUT ME

I bring brands, products, and people to life with beautiful and thoughtful visual and verbal styling.

I have worked with some of the biggest names in the music, film, CPG, fashion, beauty, and home + retail businesses. From building brands for retail to executing beautiful media and consumer events... I've seen and done it all (well, most of it!).

LAST CALL MIXOLOGY + JOANNA BUCHANAN


My dearest father once told me I would never make a career out of my shopping habit. And I'm proud to say I've proved him wrong. (Literally, the only time the man was wrong about anything.) I started out working the mall shops — the Body Shop + The Gap to be precise. Mid-90s teen girl dream jobs. They laid a very solid foundation in merchandising, the importance of deep product knowledge, and customer service that I still carry with me today. 

I’ve spent the last 25+ years layering on branding, strategy, licensing, product development, and retail and e-Commerce experiences that have led me to today. I am a lover of design, beautiful product, and customer experiences. I am a champion of art, natural beauty, and conservation. And a true believer that every brand, every product, and every person should have meaning, purpose, and sustainability at their core.

“I dearly love beautiful ‘things.’ I love a souvenir. Concert t-shirts and posters. A little piece of local pottery. Colorful pencils. Found objects. A used book from a local author. Pressed pennies. And really, they aren’t just ‘things’ … they are talismans of adventures and lives past.”
