Founder & Lead Designer

Hi! I’m Chris Olson

I am creative at heart and a designer by trade. My Colorado-based studio offers UI/UX design, custom Squarespace websites, brand identity design, and graphic design.

I am inspired by sunny and snowy days and the beautiful mountains I can see from my studio window. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, hiking, and spending time with my family and my fur babies.

I have a background in marketing and textile design. I designed books and marketing materials when I began working as a designer. I have always loved illustration and creating patterns, so about a decade ago, I started working with two textile design agencies.

My interest in website design and UI/UX design grew after joining masterclasses at Adobe as well as taking classes and getting certified in UI/UX design with Google and the California Institute of the Arts. (You can see my coursework and the certification listing on my Certifications page.)

A little bit about me

bowl of popcorn and tv remote control

  • My favorite movies are You’ve Got Mail or It’s Complicated. My favorite shows at the moment are Ted Lasso and streaming episodes of The Mindy Project, The Office, and Shrinking.


  • Comfort and durability are important. I have dogs and some have been very big with those monster paws that destroy wimpy fussy stuff. I like a modern style mixed in with some favorite retro pieces. There will always be plenty of bookcases and bins for dog toys.

  • Depending on my mood, I love popcorn, pizza, and cold cereal.


  • I live in Colorado so the mountains are my favorite place to go for the day—skiing or hiking. I also love to try new restaurants or breweries with family and friends.

Let’s design something amazing

I have a background in digital design and surface design. I have been working in this industry for more than 10 years. Last year, I started also working on UI/UX design. Creating beautiful, compelling websites and apps is a good fit for me because I have always been passionate about understanding the user’s experience and solving their pain points. My goal with UI/UX projects is to create on-screen experiences that connect, teach, communicate, and inspire.
