When Christopher Paul graduated with a BFA in Communication Design (specializing in Illustration) in 2000, he realized what many people these days are forced to confront. Earning a degree and having talent did not automatically mean that he would get a job. To complicate matters, his illustration skills actually made employers wary of ending up with a designer who might be bored with the day-to-day monotony of real world corporate design.

As the job market continued to dwindle in what was already a competitive field, Christopher began to wonder if his education had been a waste of time. Eventually the idea came that he might be able to start his own business. At the time it seemed a little far fetched, but as a student he often worked on small freelance projects for extra money. Furthermore, if companies weren't hiring in-house artists, who was creating their essentials — business cards, letterhead, advertising, etc.?

This dream became a reality in 2001 with the establishment of CPDesign. Finding it's niche in today's outsourcing environment, CPDesign continues to grow and thrive. Christopher Paul's lesson in perseverance is also the story of opportunity. Your opportunity. When you set up a project with CPDesign (Contact CPD), you will be working with a genuinely enthusiastic studio that will stretch your ideas and budget beyond the limits of your imagination.
