Creative Director & Design Leader
Hey, I'm Chase — a senior creative leader with 15+ years building brands, leading teams, and shipping work that matters. I'm open to the right full-time role, and available fractionally for teams that need senior creative leadership now.
Start a conversation →About
I'm a creative director with 15+ years building brand identities, crafting digital experiences, and leading cross-functional teams. I specialize in helping organizations navigate the intersection of craft and technology — and I'm at my best when I'm embedded in a team, shaping culture as much as output. I'm actively seeking the right full-time opportunity at a mid-sized company or agency, and available fractionally for teams that need senior creative leadership without the full-time commitment.
Services
I bring focused expertise to the areas where creative leadership has the highest leverage.
Positioning, voice, visual identity, and messaging architecture — built to differentiate and endure across every touchpoint.
Interim or supplemental CD for your in-house team. I mentor creatives, set quality standards, and build cultures that ship great work.
Practical AI integration into creative workflows — from prompt libraries and tooling to org-wide upskilling and governance frameworks.
End-to-end audits of component libraries and design systems — eliminating redundancy, enforcing consistency, and building a leaner foundation your team can ship from faster.
Creative direction for apps, SaaS products, and digital experiences — bridging business goals with design decisions that feel intuitive and on-brand.
Launch strategy and creative execution for new products, rebrands, and market expansions — from positioning through final assets.
Workflow design, tooling, briefing systems, and cross-functional structures that reduce friction and let creative teams do their best work.
Brand sprints, creative kickoffs, and team alignment sessions — structured to generate real decisions and momentum, not just sticky notes.

Kind Words
We love working with Chase. I'm not sure where he gets all of his ideas, but his process helped us have the confidence in our design direction—he helped us fully explore each decision and arrive at a conclusion that our team felt great about. "Taste" is something you need your designers to come with. You can't give it to them after they're hired. Chase elevates our game on every project.
Chad JardineCEO, CMO ZenI had the pleasure of working with Chase for over 5 years and saw him develop into an excellent leader and truly hone his creative skills. He managed and mentored many talented designers and helped them grow and develop their skills. All around, Chase is great to work with and is extremely dedicated to his work.

Work With Me
Not ready for full-time? These structures are starting points for fractional work — I'm always open to scoping something that fits your needs and timeline.
Focused reviews, feedback sessions, or advisory calls. Remote and global engagements justify the higher end.
On-site or full remote days — workshop facilitation, brand intensives, or deep-dive team critiques.
1–2 week focused engagement with defined deliverables. Ideal for new client trials or launch moments.
Urgent timelines compress planning and require immediate re-prioritization. Rush engagements carry a surcharge on any base rate.
Let's Connect
