Chris Hearn (b. 1960). Happy 25th Birthday, 2021. Ink on card stock.

My curiosity has always been my North Node 🌟

I started my creative journey in illustration, then moved into graphic design, animation, and now branding and art direction. I’m always looking to expand my skills and find answers along the way. I enjoy contributing my unique expertise to every stage of the creative process, from concept to execution.

For a non-stick figure representation of me, here I am with my former Creative Director, Queenie (RIP to a true icon šŸ•Šļø)
