We make brands, packaging and the things around them.
A design studio for brands that want to be picked up, worn, and remembered.
(Selected work)
Things we’ve made
Every artifact started as a problem worth solving. Here are a few we’re proud of.
(Brands our team has worked with)
Nothing random
About it.
(Services)
What we do
Six disciplines under one roof, so strategy, shelf, and screen all speak the same language.
(Process)
How it works
Five steps, no mystery. You always know where the project stands.
(01)
Talk.
Tell us what you are making and who it is for.
(02)
Dig.
Market, category, competitors, shelf. We look before we draw.
(03)
Make.
Concepts, refinement, and the details that hold up in production.
(04)
Ship.
Files, specs, and vendor handoff so it arrives right.
(05)
Keep going.
Line extensions, new SKUs, and the next drop.
(Kind words)
“After working with other art directors, we found that no one could bring our Disney Concerts tour lines to life quite like Chris. His ability to understand our vision and translate it into merchandise that resonated with fans was unparalleled. Chris’ creative direction elevated the events and drove unprecedented sales success.”
Ray Powell
Founder, Stir Entertainment and New Republic Merchandise
“Working with Chris to design a logo for my project was awesome. The process was super easy, and communication was great. He was able to interpret and design a logo that was exactly what I wanted, from what I’m sure was very ambiguous direction on my part. Great work, great human being!”
Mike Chuthakieo
Founder of House of Wagons and CRO at 88rising

(FAQ)
The things people usually ask before we start.
It depends on scope. A logo or a single packaging format moves faster than a full identity with packaging and a website. Your proposal includes a timeline before you commit, and we share work in stages so you can see progress along the way.
