Chris Caldwell is a designer and lettering artist based in New York City. A passion for letters developed from his experience as a brand designer at Mucca Design, where he was exposed to the vast potential and value custom typography can bring to design.

After studying typeface design in the Type@Cooper Extended program in 2021, Chris started a personal project culminating in a three-year collaboration with Troy Leinster and the launch of the typeface family Gardein.

In 2023, he launched an art and design studio from a shared daydream with his friend Chris Skinner called The Power of Friendship. The studio creates brand experiences and lasting memories and exists to push things in an optimistic direction—as do their collaborators.
