Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Chris Gupton, a Raleigh-based art director and designer with more than a decade of experience shaping brand identities, marketing collateral, and digital experiences for clients across industries.
I love collaborating with teams and clients to turn ideas into clear, compelling visuals—from logos and brand systems to websites and campaigns. When I’m not designing, I’m exploring new techniques, mentoring peers, and helping teams bring ideas to life with confident, cohesive visuals.
