Chris Allen is a super talented designer and photographer who I always seemed to hear great things about before I had the opportunity to meet him. His work has been published in Color, Transworld Skateboarding, Font: Classic Typefaces for Contemporary Design, and h(y)r collective to name a few. He has produced work for the Gagosian Gallery, Etnies, The Cheaper Show, Lifetime Collective, Super Champion, Livestock, Made Mag, Endeavor Snowboards, Vancouver Film Studios and Pyrrha. Chris currently is working as a Senior Designer at Cause+Affect, the people behind Pecha Kucha Vancouver. Cause+Affect is a consulting and design studio that specializes in brand identities, print, exhibition design and architectural environments. At the studio, Chris’s work environment changes daily - he could be on location working with a photographer, at the printer on press, working on concepts or refining a final artwork, presenting to a client, or buried in a book doing research for a project. This is Chris’ day to day.
The Proof
I am graphic designer. I was a solo designer for a few years and also had a studio with a friend working under the name Betterdaze. I currently work at Cause+Affect in Gastown as Senior Designer. It's really nice to have found a home in a city with such few 'design' studios. Good people doing good things.
What neighborhood do you live in?
We live in Strathcona in a beautiful character building. A great neighborhood with great people, truly a community.
What are you working on?
Currently we are working on the rebrand of designers Wade Papin and Danielle Wilmore's line of jewlery Pyrrha. They are a local brand gone international with beautifully hand crafted product with brand collateral that is seriously pushing the boundaries within their industry
