Portfolio: farris.myportfolio.comBrand Website: www.euforeiagolf.comI'm a Pittsburgh native with 18 years of design experience primarily in apparel design. Along my journey, I have worn many hats from designer to creative director to founder. Through those experiences, I have launched and created brands, developed industry changing products, and have worked in just about every part of the apparel business from from design to screen printing to packaging to cut/sew manufacturing.I have an adept knowledge of sports, as I have been immersed in them my entire life. I was a professional athlete and have worked in various sports industries as a designer and creative director.Branding is one of my favorite aspects of being a creative director. I believe every customer-facing component should create a meaningful and lasting connection to the customer.My creative quiver is quite versatile and includes: logo design, branding, product design, apparel design, technical design, packaging design, website & e-commerce creation, digital marketing, product manufacturing and supply chain management, illustration, typography, photography, videography/editing, content creation, and social media management.I grew up with a punk rock mentality which has benefitted me in my career as I very much think outside the box in an engaging and disruptive way. It helps me see opportunities and inspires innovation that others may miss.I have many years of experience managing teams, especially creatives and feel I've learned over the years how to get the best work out of my team while also promoting a fun, collaborative, and healthy culture.I'm a high-level strategic thinker not just in design, but in all aspects of business. I believe my experience as an entrepreneur of a global apparel business gives me a unique perspective when it comes to design and creative work. My thoughts are not only about the execution of a design, but how the design impacts the business from a brand, financial, and manufacturer stand point.About Euforeia Golf:As a person who has spent his entire life immersed in action sports, golf has always been a bit awkward to me. I never felt like I fit in, I definitely didn't dress the part, and I was embarrassed to admit I played golf to my friends. Knowing I was probably going to play this game for the rest of my days, I spent three years building and developing Euforeia Golf, a brand based in action sports, created for the underground golfers of the world, and aimed to grow the game from the outside.
