Hello! I'm Chris Tyre, an art director, visual problem solver, and founder of Via Visual design studio based in Austin, Texas. I'm that dude in the back of the coffee shop with the iced americano hiding behind a laptop but still very much jamming out to the indie acoustic tunes playing.

What I deliver is creative leadership, a focus on concept development, dedication to detail, and probably a few puns that slip in along the way. I have over 15 years of experience spanning brand strategy, experiential marketing, and graphic design which includes working in a creative experience agency, in-house marketing team, and freelance. My client portfolio ranges from boutique hotels to SXSW brand activations to international organizations in the Global 500.

I am also a father, the owner of Nomad + Camera that specializes in lifestyle and event photography, guest photographer for Creative Mornings/Austin, dabble in indie films (IMDb), and a volunteer Programming Lead for Austin Design Week.
