Hi, I’m Craig Bailey. I’m a licensed motorbike rider with over 20 years of riding experience, and I draw on the discipline of Karate (Second Dan) and a decade of teaching to fuel my design process.

I’m inspired by film storytelling and visual style, and my travels to Japan, Australia, and Bora Bora broaden my cultural perspective and inform my work. You can view some of my projects at behance.net/rizzobaile691f. I continue to pursue design opportunities and collaborative projects that push creative boundaries.…
