Artist’s eye. Curious mind. Hands in the work.
Hello, I’m Cristian Whitney, an artist and creative director based in Denver. You might also know me as Blacksevens.
For more than twenty years, I’ve helped people find the shape, voice, and character of what they’re building. My work moves between brands, digital experiences, and art. Curiosity tends to connect the dots.
A few things I’ve helped bring into the world.
Different people, different challenges. Each project starts with paying attention - and finding something worth building on.
Good company makes good work.
I like working with people who care deeply about something. People with a point of view, an open mind, and a willingness to see where an idea might go.
I bring a broad creative perspective and stay close to the details: asking questions, sketching possibilities, shaping the direction, and making the thing. I care about how it looks, how it works, and how we get there together.
There’s usually ink somewhere.
Outside of client work, I make art, collect fragments of language, and follow ideas without a brief. That part of my life keeps the rest awake.

What are you thinking about?
A project, a place on your team, an idea you keep coming back to. I’d love to hear about it.
