The creative work of Chris Wiley

I have over 15 years of experience creating diverse content encompassing traditional advertising, marketing, branding, design, art direction, and photography within the retail and apparel industry

I’m a creative thinker and doer who is trying my damndest to make the world feel something.

Thanks for being a bit more interested in me. I’ll try and keep this simple.

I grew up in a trailer park in Florida and escaped without a criminal record. My name is Christopher (Chris) Wiley but you call me Wiley. I'm a Creative Director living in Sacramento, CA. I have a passion for everything design, branding, photography, art, marketing, advertising, the outdoors, old stuff, cars, bikes… Anything that makes me say “damn, that’s rad.”

I’m a bit of a self-proclaimed hobbyist. When I’m not in front of a computer (or behind a camera), you can find me cycling (road, gravel, or mountain), running, climbing (boulder or sport), surfing (mainly logging these days), camping, hiking, or on an overland adventure (and taking photos). Honestly, my wife tells me I have “too many hobbies”, but I refuse to listen.

I also help (poorly) maintain an outdoor travel blog with my wife. You should check it out. It may inspire you. It may not. Either way, it’s a risk you should take.

I wear a white shirt and jeans almost every day. Beer is good. Whiskey is better. Tequila is dangerously delicious. One day I’ll live in a van like all the cool kids but until then, my Tacoma will have to do.
