Meet the Founder

CJ Harris

CEO/Creative Marketing Director

As a designer and creative strategist, I help businesses to create communications that resonate with their audience.

With over 15 years of experience in the field, and a BFA in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago, I use the skills I have gained to help you achieve your marketing goals. My desire has always been to combine my love for design with my marketing savvy. I’m an artist, for sure, but I first realized that I had a passion for marketing while working with small businesses. Working with them made me understand that it wasn’t enough to just design something that looked pretty. I wanted to know what happens after the design and before the concepts are created. In essence, what’s the plan and strategy to make sure that these designs are successful? What’s the business, marketing, and brand strategy?

I have been fortunate that, so far, I have had the pleasure of working with a variety businesses — sole proprietors, small startups, mid-sized businesses, and multi-million dollar organizations. I also have been blessed to be a two-time recipient of the APEX Award for Publication Excellence and to have a proven track record of launching social media campaigns that lead to greater discoverability, brand awareness, engagement and revenue.

The core values that drive our company are integrity, professionalism, self-motivation, strategic thinking, organization and relationships. We are committed to be the indispensable extension of your creative and marketing team. Fill out the form below to schedule your free consultation. I hope we’re a good fit!
