Higher Blend

Hi, I’m Chris. I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, painter and self proclaimed “Jack of all trades”. I have a passion for customization and adding my creative touch to everything. I love art, painting, woodworking, illustration, sculpting and just being creative in general. I developed an interest for graphic design in high school and quickly decided I’d want to pursue it as a career. I moved to California to work with clothing companies as an in-house artist and web developer. I got laid off during the 2008 recession which pushed me to freelance where I got to work with various record labels, musicians, apparel companies, dispensaries and festivals.

My experience as a freelancer gave me a behind-the-scenes look at various industries which really got my gears turning. After honing my design and illustration skills for over a decade, I started creating my own art under the name Higher Blend. The way I see it. I could spend time working on building other peoples brands up with my design services, or I could start watering the grass on my lawn so to speak. I still collaborate with other companies from time to time. If you have a fun project or illustration idea, get in touch.
