In nature, you would never find a polar bear and a penguin in the same place. One rules the North, the other the South. The creative world of advertising often works the same way. You are usually either a writer or an art director, but rarely both.
Chris is that rare hybrid. As a versatile Creative Director, he combines conceptual writing and high-end art direction. With a strong foundation in design, retouching, and photography, he is a hands-on leader who is not afraid to push the boundaries of visual communication and emerging technology.
Chris blends technical expertise with a collaborative mindset. He values team leadership and mentoring, believing the best ideas come from working together.

“I've had the pleasure of working with Chris for just over a year at BWM. Not only does Chris have a great eye from an art direction point of view, but he's also very conceptually strong. His campaign for SurfAid titled "Surfify" is also proof of his ability to easily steer creative ideas into the digital space, with great effect. Chris is an asset to any creative department.”
