Chris Millspaugh Design

Chris Millspaugh Design is a small design studio working with small business owners, corporations, higher education institutions, and non-profits. The studio's focus spans brand identity and logo design, print design, and publication and magazine design, with client work ranging from local breweries to university programs to arts organizations.

Services cover visual identity, packaging identity, brand strategy and positioning, illustration, and report and publication design. That range shows up in projects like Wild North Brewing's brand identity and package design, CD packaging illustration and layout, and layout and typesetting work for the KU School of Engineering's book design. Art direction and design for the KU Endowment Annual Report and Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art extend the studio's publication work into institutional reporting and museum contexts.

Brand identity work appears across a wide client list: Lawrence Bird Alliance, Kansas Action for Children, Friends of Lawrence Area Trails, Mass Street Music, Limestone Pizza, Kansas City Roller Warriors, Decade Coffee & Espresso, and Peaslee Tech all carry identity systems built by the studio. Illustration and design work for KU Theatre's 2017/18 poster series and a run of book covers round out a portfolio that moves between commercial branding, cultural institutions, and print publications.
