Welcome to Set-Square, the online portfolio of Chris Yeates, a senior digital creative based in Bristol, England.

Predominantly a designer, art director and strategist, I've worked for (and in collaborative practice with) clients such as Microsoft, Google, Toshiba, Vodafone, Canon, Nikon, Dyson, Progenit/AKQA, DCH, Amazon, Macys, Target, Tribal DBB, Issey Miyake, Grand Designs, AXA, Zurich, BHS, Marks & Spencer, and have extensive experience in leading projects from ideas conception, to visualisationg, pitching, development and delivery.
I'm comfortable with challenging situations, working in different media and equally happy presenting ideas at boardroom level or hands-on ideas sessions with a team of creatives.

My arts background gave me a good grounding in creative process, and working for street-level brands and clients in the music industry has enabled me to be adept at designing for wide ranging demographics.

Please contact me to discuss your needs, however large or small. Quotes can be on a day rate, or tailored per project to meet your budget.
