I'm Charis, a multi-disciplinary designer based in Cardiff with over five years of industry experience. I specialise in branding, illustration, and social content, and have worked across a wide range of creative roles - including set design, art direction, illustration, and animation - for a diverse mix of clients.

My background gives me a versatile approach to design, combining visual storytelling with strong creative instincts across both digital and physical spaces.

I began my career as a Junior Concept Artist at iSite TV Studios, where I progressed to Lead Concept Artist within three years. It was a varied and fast-paced role that involved juggling multiple projects while mentoring junior team members. I worked across a broad range of industries - from tech to toys - developing creative from concept through to launch for global clients including Playmobil, Carphone Warehouse, Beko, and Samsung.

Between full-time roles, I took on freelance projects for agencies including Elvis and Mosaic Films. At Elvis, I created illustrations for an Oreo campaign featured on POS, and developed concept artwork for UNILAD’s Blood Without Bias campaign.

I’m currently a Creative at Kastner London, where I work across branding, design, motion and illustration for a wide range of clients, including Red Bull. My work spans content creation, campaign ideation, brand identity, and occasional video editing. I’ve particularly enjoyed contributing to Red Bull briefs - ranging from storyboarding to experiential concepts - as well as developing brands for start-ups and rebranding established ones, often drawing on my skills in illustration and motion to bring ideas to life.
