About Us: Jason W. Christman


Jason started his career as a photography major and became very experienced in film, lighting, camera repair and photo retouching. But his niche in photography was darkroom manipulation, blending negatives and creating scenes never imagined or possible with standard photography. Once the application Adobe Photoshop became available in the early 90's, his life changed as he recognized the possibilities and future this software held and how it would take him out of the darkroom and down a whole new career path.

Jason began working for Light Works Productions in 1994 as a digital designer in the early years of computer graphics and began advertising and marketing projects under the instruction of his mentor Richard McLean.

In 1998, he began his lifelong dream of becoming an entrepreneur by started his own design company Celestial, Inc. Over the next 7 years, while developing his design business, Jason nurtured his love for art, music and travel by opening a Celtic Gallery and Folk Music store in his live/work studio in The Pomona Arts Colony.

After falling in love with his newly found family Jenny and Kaileigh, he relocated everything to Portland, Oregon, where he was originally born, and expanded his business with his brother Kyle and cousin Greg.  Today the business is stronger than ever, and as of this year, celebrates its first decade of success!
