Chris Cooley began his journey toward becoming a designer at the, ripe old, age of two when he drew his first illustration, of a whale, on a bank deposit slip. Through the early years of his life he thought of art as a hobby. It wasn't until high school that he realized his artistic talents could become a career. Chris didn't travel far for college, in 2006 he graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Industrial and Interactive design. Spending the next three years working at Cornell University Chris excelled in graphic and web design. In 2008 he decided to satisfy his lifelong dream of running his own business and CMCreative Design was born.
