Chuckie Freeman: in Temecula, CA

In January 2012 my wife and I moved to Steamboat Springs to work with a non profit organization known as SK8 Church. This was essentially a boys & girls club centered on skateboard culture and housed in an indoor skatepark. My wife and I ran the middle school crisis youth program and I lead all of their graphic design and the majority of their marketing. This was strictly on a volunteer basis.

In August of 2012 my wife and I fulfilled her dream of opening a main street tattoo shop in Steamboat Springs. She tattooed and I did all of our marketing and design. We ran this business successfully for 5 years until we decided to close the main street location so that she could work as a traveling artist.

Full time graphic designer position working with clients of all kinds on seemingly impossible deadlines to create ads that would print every morning. These two publications are the largest newspapers in NW Colorado and my time with the company only ended because of our California relocation.

Sox Place is a homeless youth drop in center located in the heart of Denver, Colorado. Part of the square footage in the facility has been converted to a screen printing shop. My job is to train "street" kids to be "employable" in this industry (i.e. show up on time, professionalism, customer service) Beyond these responsibilities I work with clients to design and create artwork for custom apparel. 100% of our profits go back to provisions for our homeless youth. I continue to work remotely with this company but not to the same capacity since our California relocation.

Straight out of college I got my start working with a dealership by the name of Freedom Harley Davidson in Lakewood, Colorado designing posters, apparel, and assisting in floor sales. In 2003 I went freelance but continued to design for this dealership on occasion mainly in the way of motorcycle tank art and decals. In 2010 I returned to Harley Davidson as a full time e-commerce sales rep and graphic designer. This gave me the opportunity to work with several dealerships in Colorado designing promotional advertisements, apparel, decals, and tank art.
