About Chris Gildersleeve
I’m Chris, and I’m a freelance graphic designer and illustrator here in Jacksonville, Florida. I started Design Dustup in 2011 after working as a designer for several years in the print and sign industries, doing work for a wide range of small businesses.
Unfortunately, too many small business owners fall victim to design that looks nice, but doesn’t actually accomplish anything.
It’s not surprising. Most small business owners aren’t designers or marketing gurus, and it’s too easy for some designers to quickly throw together a nice-looking package that will excite the client, without any real thought towards achieving results.
I started Design Dustup to do work I can be proud of—not simply because it looks good, but because it actually makes people more successful.
As a freelance designer I’m able to work closely with you, learning about your goals for your business to come up with a plan that will help you reach them. Don’t settle for anyone who hasn’t made your success their primary goal.
