Hello, my name is Chris Brown and I'm a multidisciplinary graphic designer from the midwest focused on branding and user-experience design. I have a B.A. in Visual Communication from Northern Illinois University (class of '09!).
I currently reside in the western suburbs of Chicagoland and spend my days acting as lead designer for a web design and development firm in beautiful Saint Charles, IL called Intersites. Outside the office, I have a fondness for beard grooming, pot bellied pigs, the Green Bay Packers, home brewing beer, vinyl albums, playing music, flannel and fitting in a quick nine holes at the end of a long work day.
I also design and sell t-shirts for fun. Check out The Distijlery

Your brand is where it all starts. Everyone knows you should never judge a book by its cover, but we all know that's not the case. Looks are everything when it comes to your identity. Logos, business cards and letterheads are just the tip of the iceberg.

Ten years ago, folks claimed that print design was dying due to the dramatic increase in mobile devices. Today, not only is print still alive and kickin', it coexists with and often supplements digital media. Together, print + screen form the ideal marketing duo.

My focus lies in designing not just for the PC screen, but for the entire mobile spectrum. Designing an elegant and efficient user experience is top priority. I'm far from a computer scientist, but I can construct a pretty damn good looking website.
