About Chase Design Studios

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I'm a passionate creative, looking to break into the graphic design field. So far, most of my work has been for school projects, or my own personal exploration. I'm a quick, independent study, with a positive outlook, a friendly demeanor, and a hard work ethic. I approach the world with an open mind, and love getting insight into other people's world views. In my free time I enjoy practicing yoga, clean eating, exploring the outdoors with my dog in New Hampshire, disc golf, and spending time on a beach in Kauai. To contact me with questions or for more information, email me [email protected]. In the meantime, check out my work here, or find me on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Behance.
