Chris in a few words
I'm a freelance graphic designer with experience working both client-side and within creative agencies in London. As an integrated designer I work across multiple touch points from print and packaging design, to video storyboards and digital responsive layouts. I have a conceptual approach to my work and love to create intelligent, thought-provoking design from initial conception through to final execution. If you need design support or would like to discuss any projects or opportunities, please feel free to get in touch.
