New York Art Director / Motion Designer
Chris Ingram
In spite of the headline on the previous page, I'm actually better at promoting major media corporations than myself...so here goes nothing.
Coming from modest beginnings in a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn, I was a creative kid, always drawing, painting, building, and exploring. Those interests turned into a career in graphic design, and a love for fine art and photography. I like to show people my view of the world so they can make better sense of theirs. And that foundation is reflected in my approach to brand identity, which can be conservative or rebellious, depending on the need and who the audience is.
I find common ground with my audience - because if I am motivated by a creative campaign - I am pretty sure they will be, too.
As a design and creative professional I read, research, and believe in perpetual experimentation. I lead teams to heights they didn't know they could reach because I truly believe in the collaborative creative process. And I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and do what is necessary to get a project to the finish line - on time and on budget.
I'm the proud father of two highly spirited little boys - and there's no need to relentlessly promote them - they are simply adorable!
