Hey there, my name is Chris and I craft creative solutions with a mindful approach to design. With over nine years of experience in Graphic Design and Marketing, I bring a deep understanding of industry trends, UX/UI, and brand-building tools to every project. I earned my B.A. in Graphic Design from CSULB University, with a minor in Marketing, blending creativity with strategic thinking.
Originally from a small beach town in Orange County, California, I relocated to Bend, Oregon, in 2020 to put down new roots. Now, I split my time between Costa Rica, Orange County, and Bend, Oregon, drawing inspiration from each location’s unique energy—whether it’s the jungle, the coast, or the mountains. The outdoors fuels my creativity, and I love surfing, mountain biking, paddleboarding, snowboarding, hiking, and spending time with my dogs.
Travel is another major source of inspiration for me. I’ve worked abroad as both a freelance designer and an English teacher, always seeking fresh perspectives. Some of my dream destinations include South Africa, Japan, and Norway. One of my most memorable experiences was meditating with monks in the northern mountains of Thailand.
I believe in mindful living and the power of continuous learning. I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy working efficiently across diverse design projects, and always seek to create work that is both innovative and impactful.
