Hello, I'm Codey Richards, a passionate Art Director hailing from Birmingham, Alabama. With over a decade of experience in the world of design and illustration, I've dedicated myself to crafting captivating visual experiences that leave a lasting impression.
My work is a fusion of old-world charm and modern digital techniques. I specialize in creating digital assets that exude an analog appeal. I don't cut corners. I've spent a lot of my time learning the traditional methods of modern work whether that be printmaking, animation, illustration, or design. I like to think I could continue my work even if the power is off.
Over the past 10+ years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with diverse clients and industries. I have worked as a printmaker, traditional sign painter, designer, illustrator, and animator with a focus on enriching my skills and expanding my creative horizons. Each project has been a stepping stone towards becoming the artist and art director I am today.
When I'm not working, I can usually be found hanging out with my family and friends, going to concerts (mostly punk bands), painting, or playing music. I sometimes lend my voice, to an Oscar winning director, to provide an example of what an authentic Alabama drawl sounds like for other directors....that is, by far, my biggest flex.
