¡Hola! Thanks for stopping by.
Cristina Pandol is an award-winning creative leader with over a decade of experience shaping the intersection of brand, culture, and storytelling. Originally from Santiago, Chile and raised in California's Central Valley, she brings a distinctly cross-cultural perspective to everything she makes.
A proud USC graduate with studies spanning Psychology, Business Administration, and Communication Design, Cristina recently earned her MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where she focused on Marketing and Strategic Management. Her academic foundation is matched by a career that has taken her from the fashion floors of GUESS? Inc. under Paul Marciano, to the entertainment powerhouses of WME and Endeavor, where she built and led in-house creative teams. She has shaped campaigns for the reimagined Bel-Air series and Academy Award-nominated King Richard, before bringing her talents to the brand marketing team of the 7x Champion Golden State Warriors. Most recently, Cristina led the creative behind the brand launch and inaugural season of the Golden State Valkyries.
When she's not crafting campaigns, you'll find her deep in an audiobook, cheering on her favorite college teams, or engaged in an ongoing territorial dispute with a particularly bold tree squirrel who has claimed her vegetable garden as his personal nut cache.
Always open to connecting with interesting people and projects.
