About
Hello, I’m Chris Ritter.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest beneath trees and overcast skies, always drawing. I studied fine art for one year before transferring to Portland State University, where I received my BA in Graphic Design in 2011. In my four years at BuzzFeed, I worked on various editorial teams to produce thousands of designs from quick Pinterest headers, branding packages for other designers, or creative directing a celebrity photoshoot.
I’ve managed a photo studio and created compelling content for Jet.com's social channels like Instagram and Facebook as well as photography for the website, email, blog and direct mail. As the Senior Producer there, I was tasked with finding concepts for shoots, allocating and creating props, managing a photographer, styling sets, creating storyboards, and maintaining the props storage. I’m currently a creative business manager for a large global marketing team specializing in e-commerce.
When I’m not working, you can find me in my art studio working on an oil painting or whatever craft strikes my fancy that day. I of course have my own social content and post my art here as well.
