Christina Buhain Newhard (she/her) is a Filipina American designer, writer, and publisher. A love for pairing text with images moved her to pursue a career in graphic design, working with clients such as New York University, Penguin Random House, Smithsonian Books, Women for Afghan Women, and Democracy for the Arab World Now. She is also the founder of an independent Filipino children’s press called Sari-Sari Storybooks, which connects littles and their adults with the cultural richness and quirky magic of Philippine stories. She currently serves on the Board of the Children’s Media Association Bay Area Chapter. She has lived in Manila, Florida, New York City, and Oakland, and finds herself most at home in a city by the water.
