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

My curiosity has always been my North Node šŸŒŸ

I started my creative journey in illustration, then moved into graphic design, animation, and now branding and art direction. Iā€™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)
