About Christa McHi, I'm Christa! Born and raised in northern New Jersey, I've been fashion-design-minded since I was a very young girl, cutting up socks and any fabric I could get my hands on to make my own clothing for my Barbie doll "clients". With a major passion, I studied fashion design at a technical high school followed by the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. I'd worked in several design rooms around New York but later found myself in the Atlanta area in a totally different career. Not able to suppress my creative brain, I began designing swimwear and handbags for friends and word-of-mouth clients, and in 2015, I became a PROUD sponsor of the SNBF organization when I finally launched Christa Mc Boutique!
The success of Christa Mc Boutique has been an absolute dream come true for me and I've been blessed with the most amazing and inspiring clients a gal could ask for! Let's create YOUR dream suit together! |

My AMAZING mentor Barbara Arata-Gavere and I caught up for lunch some 25 years after I graduated from her high school Fashion Design program. I felt she deserved a place here in my "About" section since she had such a major influence in shaping me into the designer that I am. I love you Barb!
