About Christian Zibreg

Christian joined MakeUseOf in 2021 as an Apple specialist and technical writer focused on helping people solve technical issues and achieve more with technology. His works were also published by reputable outlets like 9to5Mac, 9to5Google, iDownloadBlog, and Tom's Guide.

Christian is one of the original tech bloggers with 20+ years of journalism experience. He studied Information Science, specializing in Expert Systems and Management Information Systems, back in the 1990s.

During his graduation year, Christian contributed to a weekly enterprise-focused magazine and started a faculty e-zine distributed on floppy disks. The pet project sparked a lifelong love for writing so strongly that he dropped out and took a leap of faith in journalism.

He worked his way to becoming Editor-in-Chief of a gaming magazine, and started three IT periodicals covering Windows PCs, consoles and consumer tech. After a decade in print journalism, Christian founded and ran a marketing/PR agency for five years, specializing in digital marketing and interactive entertainment.
