Art Institute — Graphic & Web Design Faculty
I am Chris. Some of the many monikers I have used include daughter, sister, wife, mother, Small Group leader, professor, coach, homeschool teacher, student, Award-winning graphic designer, art director, creative director, artist, amateur photographer, Airbnb Superhost, entrepreneur, pet rescuer, whole food eater, idealist, and aspiring author.
I seek excellence in all things and equally admire failure that won’t quit. I care deeply. I alternately tear up and holler at the news.
I yearn for justice, equality, and unity. I believe in more than one chance. I know — there, but for the grace of God, go I.
I believe in respect, love, and the good in all of us.
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT CHRIS
Chris is a dedicated design faculty member and trusted coworker with real-world experience that she brings to the classroom. As a freelance designer, I've known Chris to have impeccable production craftsmanship, creative acumen and an affinity to think outside of the box. She's a leader, a collaborator, a doer, a thinker and a friend. Quite simply, Chris is the total package.

Hit the jackpot when someone told me their wife wanted to teach design! Coming from a professional design background, Chris offers more than on the job experience by bringing creativity, empathy, and enthusiasm to all she takes on both in the classroom and out. She thoughtfully guides students to produce award winning projects and to achieve higher levels of personal success. Over the past decade I have watched her as both a design professional and faculty member expertly roll with the punches while schools and the business world continually evolve. You'll hit a homerun if you hire Chris!

Chris Leimberger coached my son in baseball for two years and he is a better player and team member because of it. Chris put everything into this volunteer role, getting to know each young man as a person while working to build on their strengths and coach through their weaknesses. She is a natural born teacher.
