I'm Chris

I like to be creative and

build stuff like a kid

For the past four years, I’ve been freelancing full-time as a Graphic Designer, Retoucher & Product Photographer. Alongside that, I’ve focused on learning branding, strategy, processes, habits and problem-solving, whilst tackling all the things being a small business owner brings. I’ve been in the Product Development / Creative industry for 14 years and have a few side projects that complement my creativity.

What can I really do?

Listen to goals & plan processes around them. Think for myself, create things, develop ideas and collaborate. Telling stories visually, solving creative headaches & building stuff. Pretty good at 5-a-side football too.

I’m just the right amount of fan to give my all and creative enough to get most projects to the finish line without causing you the hassle.

Where I’d like to stage dive, if I had the opportunity. However, I’d take any low-level paying job just to get my foot in the door and be a part  of the mission how big or small.
