Christopher Frey

Senior Graphic Designer

I’m Chris Frey, and proudly a Navy Veteran. Currently, I’m working as a senior graphic designer based in Maryland, USA. In 2018, I earned my associate degree in graphic design. Recently, in 2023, I expanded my knowledge by completing my bachelor’s degree in graphic communication at University of Maryland Global Campus.
 
Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in various hobbies like immersing myself in Nintendo games, exploring the vibrant world of anime, and delving into the boundless realms of sci-fi. Staying physically active through bodybuilding is another facet of my life that keeps me balanced and energized.
 
Most importantly, I cherish my role as a father to two amazing kids. They are a constant source of inspiration, shaping both my personal and creative journeys.
