Who is Chad Michael?
Chad Michael had founded of the eponymous studio in 2014, after working as head designer for several of the New York’s most awarded agencies. He realized that designs require a lot of time and dedication in order to come out as desired so he has decided to select his clients and not accept every job that shows up. He maintains a close relationship with his clients to make sure that they are happy with the final product.
What does he do?
Simply put, he creates art. Chad Michael Studio gained its recognition for the complexity and meticulosity
of the designer’s work. He divided his work in three main segments which he describes as follows:

-
Branding
Well-executed, iconic logo design is a necessity for any successful brand especially when the company is a start-up. Countless hours are poured into each brand to ensure it separates you from everyone else.
-
Packaging
The aim is to never repeat what has already been done in the marketplace so pushing boundaries and the unexpected is the goal for every project.
