Hello.
I'm Chris, a designer, art director, and creative director.
I make ads that sell things, but people still want to watch.
I've worked in-house and for agencies, freelance and full-time. I help clients launch new products and agencies win new business.
My work shows up on TV and in social feeds, for clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups to non-profits. It was in the Super Bowl a couple of years back.
I occasionally win awards, but I almost always get repeat business. Clients want to work with me again. Agencies bring me back. I guess that means people like working with me.

People on my teams get promoted. They go on to win awards and become creative directors themselves.
I spent 10+ years at Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, launching shows and making content that reached millions of people—including a product that generated a billion (with a "b") plays in its first year.
Since then, I've been freelancing across the country—working on campaigns for classic food brands, power tools, and toilet paper (sold separately).

What else?
Sometimes I make stuff without getting paid for it.
Some creative friends and I used to get together on Mondays to play collaborative drawing games. There may have been beer involved. Sometimes we turned sketches into screen prints, but usually they just ended up here.
I play in rock bands. I call it art rock, but my bandmates use descriptors that have more than one hyphen. You get the idea. I play the guitar.
Invoices (pandemic project)
lada (c. 2011–2013)
Choose Your Battles (c. 2007–2008)
I called my latest solo rock project “Invoices” because “non-billable hours” was a little on the nose.
I made a bunch of noisey, sometimes pretty, often complicated instrumental tracks with guitars in my basement and drums on my laptop.
What else was I supposed to do without leaving the house for a year and a half?
