CHRIS BLAIN
Creative Director & Designer
Chris is an award-winning artist and designer. He has directed the creative work for various projects ranging from national restaurant chains, to festival experiences. He specializes in hand-lettering and logo development. Chris is also a fine artist with a BFA from CCAD and spends a good amount of time in his studio/workshop. If he's not designing or painting, he is likely exploring the forest with his wife and his dog, or screaming at a soccer match.
DORIAN LAFFERRE
Illustrator & Designer
It’s pronounced “laugh-free”, although Dorian is anything but. He brings an upbeat energy to every brand he works with, having cut his teeth as a sign painter before working closely with Chris on City Barbeque’s marketing team for 3 years. He also produces and cohosts a podcast about death.
This list will grow as we grow.
