About Me:

I’m a Senior Graphic Designer and creative marketing professional with more than 10 years of experience building campaigns, brands and visual systems across streaming entertainment, media and digital platforms.

My background spans key art, lifecycle and retention marketing, digital advertising, paid social, app experiences, motion and large-format DOOH/OOH. I’ve supported more than 175 streaming entertainment campaigns across Paramount+, CBS All Access and Smithsonian Channel, working closely with marketing, product, editorial, programming, copy and project management teams.

At Paramount+, I helped transition lifecycle creative production from Photoshop to Figma, contributing to a scalable system that increased deployment capacity by more than 500,000 customer communications per month. I’ve also developed AI-assisted production workflows for large-scale content modernization, helping update approximately 1,000 legacy titles and produce approximately 1,000 alternate key art assets for current platform standards.

More recently, my freelance work has continued across the Paramount+ ecosystem through agency partnerships, supporting brands including CBS, SHOWTIME, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET and Smithsonian Channel. My work has included lifecycle campaigns, display systems and high-visibility DOOH/OOH for titles and campaigns including Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, School Spirits and The Agency.

I’m especially interested in where strong conceptual design, scalable creative systems and emerging AI tools intersect. I use AI as part of a broader production workflow alongside Figma and Adobe Creative Suite to extend what creative teams can accomplish while maintaining the craft, judgment and consistency that strong brand work requires.

Earlier in my career, I founded and ran Nexus Artist Management, where I led creative direction, branding and marketing for artists, tours and live events. That experience continues to shape how I approach design today: not simply as execution, but as a combination of creative thinking, communication, problem solving and getting ambitious work across the finish line.

Currently open to Senior Graphic Designer, Senior Brand Designer and Art Director opportunities, including full-time and freelance roles.

Recommendations:

Chris is an excellent senior designer and wonderful addition to your creative team. He is versatile, adaptable, quick learning, dedicated, and an all-around amazing colleague to work with. During his tenure with Paramount+, Chris has worked between retention marketing to single-title digital campaigns and now key art development, among other roles.

Chris is also one of our lead members to transition our lifecycle marketing to a FIGMA-based workflow which has gained us the ability to increase deployment of up to 500k additional communications per month over prior months. Concurrently, Chris has also delivered original key art compositions for our seasonal SpongeBob SquarePants digital campaigns as well as custom gif animations supporting the SpongeBob 25th anniversary event.

For these reasons and countless others given to support Paramount+, I highly recommend Chris Pattison for junior roles in art direction and senior roles in design for digital marketing and branding. It has been a pleasure to help guide his journey.

Chris is wonderful to work with. Over the past three years of our time together at Paramount+, Chris has proven to be reliable, steadfast, and zealous with regards to his design work. He's always raising his hand to help out his team members if they need to offload jobs, and he consistently makes himself available for if and when stakeholders come back with additional requests. Chris manages his time well, and has delivered hundreds of projects successfully per quarter. He is easygoing, kind, and thoughtful, even under the immense pressure of our fast-paced working environment.

While working together, it has been a joy to watch Chris grow his already glowing portfolio. He has excelled in production work, but also is key art creation, logo design, and a long list of complex, high-profile, high-visibility Retention-based projects, to name a few things I've witnessed him complete. Incredibly likable and friendly, it's important to note that Chris would absolutely be a culture fit on any team he chooses to work with in the future.

Chris Pattison is an exceptional creative partner. He’s a smart, reliable creative who elevates the work and the team around him. As he explores his next opportunity, I can’t recommend him highly enough for freelance or full-time roles. Any team would be lucky to have him as a senior graphic designer or creative lead.
