About

Chris Laughter, photographer and designer

I’m a creative designer and visual storyteller who makes brands look, feel, and perform better.

For 10+ years I’ve worked across agencies, studios, in-house teams, and client work—blending design, photography, motion, and storytelling for sports, lifestyle, wellness, hospitality, and tech brands.

At Full Swing Simulators I lead the digital workstream (web, motion, paid, email, trade show). At Callaway Golf I created launch visuals that held across packaging, retail, and digital. For Fujikura I shaped the paid and social language around a tour shaft.

Since 2018 I’ve also run CJ Creative, building brand systems, websites, and photography for clients who already have a point of view—and making sure it stays strong once it leaves the deck.

I live and work remotely from the San Diego coast.

Process

How I work.

01

Discovery

Clarify the goal, audience, and constraints. Get clear on what success looks like before any design starts.

02

Direction

Lock the visual story—key images, type, and brand rules. This becomes the foundation everything else builds on.

03

Design & Build

Create the work in Figma, Adobe, Webflow, or Framer. Design inside real constraints so it’s ready to ship.

04

Refine

Test it in the real world, cut what doesn’t work, and finalize. Then we’re done.
