Bio
Ryan M. Cox
Chris has helped us create the Game Day program at Smokies Park for the last two seasons. Chris is easy to work with, reliable, and most importantly the Programs look Great! I would recommend Creative 2313 for your next project.
Kristina Shands
Chris and the gang at 2313 Creative designed the 2010-11 Knoxville Ice Bears game program and did an amazing job on the project. They had great ideas and are incredibly talented artists, plus they are fun to work with. They worked so hard on the program, meeting multiple deadline moves and unexpected challenges, and handled those obstacles professionally and in timely matter. I loved working with Chris and would highly recommend 2313 Creative to anyone looking to take their brand image to the next level.

I've spent twenty years making art, building businesses, creating brands, and forging relationships...and I'm looking to spend the next twenty years sharing that experience to motivate and educate others. I'm currently on sabbatical, so there's a lot of reading, contemplating, and staring off into the sunset kind of things going on. If you have big ideas, let's talk.
