Hi, I’m Chris
I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, and visual artist currently based in Denver, Colorado.
By day, I design branding, packaging, and illustration for craft breweries — blending bold visuals with clear systems that help brands speak loud and stay sharp. By night (and often in between), I work under the name Dokebi, a mischievous spirit inspired by Korean folklore, reimagined through street art, vinyl toys, murals, and sticker culture.
My work exists between two creative poles: one structured and strategic, the other expressive, chaotic, and character driven. I move fluidly between the two, designing brand systems with discipline, then flipping the switch to explore rawer, character-driven worlds through paint, stencils, spray cans, and 3D modeling.
As Dokebi, my artwork has been exhibited in galleries and festivals across the world, seen on beer cans, murals, vinyl toys, and tattooed onto fans around the world. In 2020, I released my first vinyl figure, Puck the Little Painter, with Strangecat Toys, followed by Best Friends, a collaboration with Chris RWK inspired by Calvin & Hobbes. I've collaborated with artists like Steve Caballero, RXSkulls, City Kitty, and ZeroPro, with work showing up everywhere from sticker swaps to city walls.
Whether designing for clients or building strange worlds, I believe in clarity, character, and a bit of mischief. I like to create work that surprises people, whether that means a smart packaging system or a mischievous goblin on the back of a street sign. If it makes someone pause, smile, or feel seen, I’m doing my job.
