I’M CHAD.

I’m a Product and Visual Designer based in Dallas, TX. I’m passionate about creating functional, authentic experiences that solve problems for people. I have fifteen years of experience across brand and product that have given me a well balanced approach to my work, and a genuine appreciation for the craft of design. I believe collaboration and camaraderie are the building blocks of truly great experiences. I love to learn, teach, mentor, and have fun doing it. Talk to me, Goose.
