ERIK CHRISTMANLandscape ArchitectureTexas A&M University ‘16

My name is Erik Christman, and I am

enthralled by design and the diverse

landscapes in this world, whether it be by

natural occurence or made by man.

I draw my inspirations from my personal

experiences throughout life.

Growing up in a military family and

then serving nine years in the US Army, I have

been lucky enough to have traveled to

many countries and continents in my 31

years of life.

In this collection you will see the knowledge

and proficiency I have in Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCad,

and Sketch Up, as well as use of colored pencil, graphite, and

marker for hand-renderings.
