Hi, I’m Conner Chappell; a Graphic Designer, Freelance Artist, and Massive Nerd.

Being neurodivergent, and a professional Graphic designer has had its challenges. From a young age I have excelled at physical tasks, but when it came time to articulate my knowledge base, that always failed me. I never had a good time with academia, leading me to seek employment after college.

Lucky for me, my first boss took a chance after an engaging and memorable interview, and from there I showed that I could learn and grow as a graphic designer. Picking up Illustrator from a complete novice perspective to a professional level, and able to turn around graphics in hours. It was after multiple buyouts, mergers, and re-brands due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and being made redundant, that I left this role.

The next chapter began in May of 2021, with me starting a new job as a graphic designer, CAD Operator and 3D environment artist at Sutcliffe Play. Here, I quickly learned the ins and outs of Photoshop and InDesign in a fast paced high turnout environment, as well as the beginnings of 3DS MAX and a comprehensive knowledge of CAD. I further refined these skills at HAGS SMP

What will the future hold for me, only time will tell…
