About

Designer who thinks in systems,
images, and sequences.

With a background that spans brand identity, editorial photography, and short-form film, I approach every project as a complete visual system. My work is minimal at its core, but never cold — every decision is intentional and every frame earns its place.

I’m looking for environments that value craft, clarity, and collaboration. Whether it’s building a brand from the ground up or capturing a story through the lens, I care deeply about the final impact.

Process

How I work

01

Listen & Define

I start by understanding the real problem — not just the brief. Clear goals and constraints shape everything that follows.

02

Research & Direction

Mood, references, and systems thinking. I explore visual territory before committing to a single path.

03

Create & Iterate

Design, shoot, or film with intention. I refine through focused feedback loops rather than endless options.

04

Deliver & Support

Clean files, clear guidelines, and thoughtful handoff. I make sure the work lives well beyond the project.

Testimonials

What clients say

“I’ve always been incredibly happy with the work Chris has done for me. He takes the time to really listen to what I’m envisioning, but what I appreciate most is his ability to take my ideas and turn them into something even better than I had imagined. He’s creative, easy to work with, and has a great eye for bringing all of the pieces together in a way that feels polished and intentional. I can give him the beginning of an idea and trust that he’ll bring it to life beautifully. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a graphic designer.”
