Available to hire
I’m Rich Farr, a Calgary designer and illustrator who thrives on turning wild ideas into clean, eye-catching visuals. I’ve cooked up everything from a sold-out Dinos t-shirt made of tiny hand-drawn icons, to a 3D Rex mascot, to a parade float that snagged “Most Creative” at the 2023 Calgary Stampede. Along the way I’ve illustrated children’s books, crafted summer camp tees, and launched Whiskered Walrus, my side-project of quirky shirts and stickers. My style blends storytelling, lateral thinking, and a touch of oddball charm—design that makes people stop, smile, and remember.
