Hi, I’m Chad Smith – a passionate graphic designer, digital artist, and former student-athlete from Eastern Illinois University. As a Digital Media major with a minor in Graphic Design, I specialize in creating visually compelling stories through design, photography, and digital art.

My experience as a goalkeeper for EIU’s Men’s Soccer team has shaped my approach to challenges – whether on the field or in the creative process. I thrive in high-pressure situations, balancing precision, strategy, and teamwork to deliver exceptional results.

Beyond sports and academics, I’m a mental health advocate working to break the stigma surrounding mental health for men and athletes. I use my platform to inspire conversations about resilience and self-care, drawing inspiration from stories like Roman Bürki’s journey in mental health advocacy.

In addition to my work in design, I’m adventurous and goal-driven, whether running marathons, cycling across states, or pushing creative boundaries. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life with thoughtful, impactful design.
