ABOUT
For me design is about the challenge of balancing aesthetics vs. functionality and minimalism vs. chaos. A permanent excuse to push the boundaries, be curious to new ideas, learn something different and focus on the details.
I'm Christopher Mead, an ambitious multi-disciplined designer based in Kent, capable of shaping strong visual solutions both online and offline. Never yielding quality, a passion for effective innovative experiences and a keen eye for typography.
After gaining 4 years agency experience, I left my position as Creative Lead to plunge into the world of freelancing, pursuing my next challange. Although short, my freelancing career has already led me to work with some great companies/agencies in London and the South East.
I hold an FdA in Graphic Media along with a National Diploma in Art & Design both from the University of Creative Arts.
UNBORNINK is not only my portfolio but my playground. It is in a state of flux, and as my own skills and ideas evolve, so will this space.
Currently I am working closely with my good friend Anthony Bliss, on our own start-up project GigOwl - A community market place for venues and entertainment professionals.
We have recently been accepted onto the DotForge Accelerator program and from late April we will be working in Sheffield for 3 months, to concentrate on pushing GigOwl further and onto the market.
