About
I'm Christopher Rhodes — creative director + designer.

I'm a creative director, designer, and social strategist based in Austin, TX, with 12+ years across agency, in-house, and founder roles. I'm a multi-disciplinary freelance creative: brand identity, social strategy, content production, and the creative direction that ties them together.
Most recently I was Head of Creative & Social for Planet K, a 13-location Central Texas retailer, owning social, email, web, in-store marketing, and events. Before that I ran social for Ottobock across North America, built a creator program for the fintech startup Daylight, produced short-form content for consumer brands through Posture Media, and designed paid social for 83bar.
In 2014 I co-founded FLAVNT Streetwear with my twin sister and grew it into an LGBTQIA+ apparel brand with a 75K+ community, nearly $1.5M in online sales, and a spot in Target's 2023 Pride Collection.
I also make content myself: 170K+ people follow along as @seethestarsablaze. That means I know what makes people stop scrolling from both sides of the camera, and I can concept, shoot, edit, and post the work myself.
When I'm off the clock, I'm likely lifting weights, playing in queer sports leagues, or planning my next trip.
