About

Visit christopherburrows.eu for my full portfolio.

I’m an illustrator, graphic designer, and animator working from Berlin, Germany, but originally from Perth, Western Australia.

Coming from a graphic design background means I have experience working in creative studios with high-profile clients and know how important process and professional communication is to find the best creative solution to a brief.

Since moving on from in-studio graphic design work and focusing more on a freelance career, I have worked in a wider range of creative fields, specifically illustration and 2D animation, which has allowed me to learn an ever-expanding range of skills in visual communication that can be applied with great attention to detail and tireless commitment. I approach each new job as a fresh take and allow the client to explore a wide range of possible directions before making decisions together and developing the best option.

I have a lot of experience working as an illustrator for commissioned editorial and online work, working with high-profile musicians and labels for animated video and album cover work, and local-to-Berlin, non-profit magazines as an art director, layout designer, and illustrator/artworker.
