From Traditional Sign Painting to Innovative Digital Design

I’m Christopher Collins, a graphic designer and sign painter whose work bridges traditional craft and modern design. As co-founder of Old Friends, my branding and apparel have been featured in Thrasher magazine, the Skater XL video game, and in Zumiez stores nationwide. I earned my certificate in sign painting from Los Angeles Trade–Technical College, and I now focus on creating impactful digital experiences, including the Old Friends Fitness app prototype I’m developing as part of my graduate studies in UX at Arizona State University.
