“Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole.” - David Lynch
WHO IS WILL BRISTOL?
Hi, I’m Will Bristol—a designer and marketer who thrives on creating impactful work from wherever there’s good Wi-Fi and a decent cup of coffee. Based in Chicago but not tied down by geography, I’m the guy who’ll collaborate with you from your time zone, your favorite coffee shop, or even that funky co-working space with the questionable beanbag chairs.
From Sunshine to Skylines
I started my creative journey in Florida, earning my BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida. Between print shops, newspapers, and design studios, I picked up the skills to master both digital and physical spaces—skills I now use from my client-forward approach to design and marketing work.
After heading to Chicago, I spent years working in the music industry, juggling marketing campaigns, brand identity projects, and more, all while perfecting the art of remote collaboration before it was cool. These days, I apply those same skills to help brands bring their visions to life—no matter where they’re based.
What I Bring to the Table (or Desk, or Couch)
I specialize in:
Brand Identity: Crafting logos and visuals that make your brand unforgettable.
Marketing Strategy: Helping you say the right things, at the right time, to the right people.
Design That Works Everywhere: Whether it’s a killer pitch deck, website visuals, or packaging, I make it shine.
Flexibility: Need me at 8 a.m. your time? Done. Want me to work on a quirky one-off project? Let’s go.
