Chad is the founder and creative director of 12pt Creative. He has specialized in restaurant branding throughout his career either with agencies or working directly for two notable concepts, but loves the variety of work 12pt allows him to pursue. Says Chad, “I find working with other entrepreneurs to be so fulfilling. To see how each business owner goes about tackling similar objectives and how we can help them to succeed and grow is inspiring to me.” Chad has always been more than just a graphic designer and applies his creative thought process to numerous business applications…and life in general. He prides himself on his passion for good design and his dedication to our clients. With over 20+ years in the Lowcountry, Chad now considers the South “home” and is the very proud husband to Jen and father to Mia and Emma who you may see from time to time on 12pt’s social media accounts.

Without David, 12pt Creative wouldn’t have been able to build half the sites we’ve launched for our clients. He’s a pivotal part of our online operations and brings humor and levity to us on a daily basis. David has been building and managing websites for restaurants, attorneys, dentists, tech innovators, retailers and artists for over a decade. And his photography work has been featured in Charleston Art Mag, The Post & Courier, Charleston Magazine, Charleston Scene, Charleston City Paper, Mount Pleasant Magazine, American Theatre and Carolinian Magazine, among others. From site launches to staff photo sessions, David alleviates stress for you and your team and makes everyone feel at ease. That’s why we call him, “Da’man!”

Kanjana (KJ) joined us in the Fall of 2016 and brings detailed graphic design work to 12pt Creative. Completing her degree from The Art Institute of Charleston, KJ originally hails from Chiang Rai, Thailand, and enjoys photography, spending time outside, and developing her cooking skills. An incredible illustrator, we often task KJ with unique logo icons, creating memorable t-shirt graphics for our retail clients and incredible custom kids drawing sheets for our restaurant clients. She won multiple awards/contests while in school and in her early career, and we enjoy her sweet nature and the positive attitude she puts into her design work.

Dixie was drafted onto the 12pt team in the Fall of 2017 and brings an infectious “happy-and-you-know-it” attitude to our offices each day. In addition to being our resident DJ, Dixie assists with our creative graphic design work, website promotional graphics, and manages our MailChimp newsletters for clients. A native to South Carolina, Dixie grew up in Myrtle Beach and attended Anderson University. After graduation, she ventured to New York City and designed for several brands like Google for Education and Pepsico. Returning to her Southern roots, Dixie is happy to work, live, and eat in Charleston. In her spare time, she enjoys tending to her vegetable garden, cooking for friends and exploring Charleston’s hidden gems with her husband.
