Design that builds brands people remember

Chris Olson Designs partners with small businesses, studios, and agencies to create work that connects — on shelf, online, and everywhere in between.

What I Can Do For You

Logos, packaging design, and brand systems built to resonate with your audience — from first sketch to print-ready files.

Strategic Brand Identity

Custom botanical, food, and animal illustrations for brands that want to stand out. Vector files without losing the hand-drawn feel — every line variation, taper, and organic curve intact. Scalable from a small label to a large format print without losing quality.

Starting at $150

Hand-Drawn Illustration

Flexible, project-based design help for agencies and studios — skilled support exactly when you need it, without the long-term commitment.

Virtual Design Support

Additional services include website design and AI integration.
