About Charlie B. Coombs

I'm a Boston-based designer specializing in brand identity, creative direction, iconography and illustration. My humanistic approach to design focuses on balancing playful humor and personality with elements of storytelling and layered symbolism. I want my work to look like a person made it rather than a machine because I find precision in design often lacks emotion and charm. This mindset helps me create thoughtfully executed identity systems for modern brands that actually resonate and evoke genuine emotion in consumers. With a professional design career spanning more than a decade, i've had the privilege of collaborating with over 30 renowned studios, agencies, and in-house design teams, contributing to the success of some of the most iconic brands in the world including Disney, Star Wars, Lucasfilm, ESPN, Paramount, Showtime, Boston Dynamics, Molex, Amazon, Boy Scouts of America, Subway, Nexstar, Hasbro, MIT, WWE, the NFL, the NHL the Discovery Channel and many more. My diverse experience, extensive studio art education and ability to solve complex problems quickly have crafted me into the versatile, confident designer I am today.Let's work together!I'm currently accepting new clients for:✅ Full-time and Freelance Positions✅ Brand Strategy & Identity Design✅ Brand Consulting & Creative Direction✅ Custom Illustrations & Iconography✅ Digital Mixed Media
