Hi, I’m Chris Mueller.

I’m a multidisciplinary creative director and design leader with extensive experience helping brands connect, engage, entertain, and grow across all platforms.

With over two decades in the design world, I've built a vast collaborative network consisting of top editors, illustrators, designers, and photographers with whom I’ve developed strong professional relationships. I bring together inspiring creative teams to achieve award winning work that exceeds expectations and grows brands. I love working with and mentoring other designers. I am both an empathetic leader and a curious learner.

I also love the outdoors, fly fishing, hiking, and I'm passionate about environmental causes. I divide my time between the Catskills and Westchester County with my wife and our two young children.
