Chris Kissam
Art Director
Background

Chris is Tandem Senior Living’s Art Director, bringing over two decades of experience in graphic design. He’s worked across a broad range of industries including healthcare, higher education, hospitality, collectibles, and retail. His path has taken him from agencies and boutique studios to launching and running his own successful design business for more than 15 years. Along the way, he’s supported organizations of all sizes by shaping visual identities, campaigns, and customer experiences across both print and digital platforms.

Beliefs

He believes great design starts with listening—and maybe a second cup of coffee. With 20+ years in the field, he knows that thoughtful design isn’t just about looking good; it’s about solving real problems with empathy, purpose, and the occasional bad pun.

Vision

He sees his future as a creative who still loves rolling up his sleeves—and not just to keep ink off them. Whether collaborating with a team or guiding strategy, he aims to bring clarity, heart, and a bit of levity to every project, helping brands connect and communicate in meaningful ways.

Three must-haves if I were stranded on a desert island
  • How to build a Swiss Family Robinson style home (for Dummies book).
  • Solar Powered Ice Maker
  • Sat phone (in case my family wants to come once I finally get the house built).
