Hello, I'm Chase! I'm an Austin, Texas based designer. Currently working as a designer at the University of Texas at Austin.
2013 Graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Since that time, I have worked as a brand, digital, print, visual and UX designer in various industries and I’ve gotten to work with Apple, GE Healthcare, Kohl’s, The University of Texas Longhorns, and Reader’s Digest. Everyone has a story and how it’s told is vital. I’m always looking to evolve as as a creator/creative and looking for the next opportunity. Willing to relocate for the right calling.
