A Creative Leader in Design & Visualisation
Hi, I'm Chris, a design leader and visualisation specialist helping brands create the vision of tomorrow's success today.
One of my greatest passions is helping innovation and tech companies effectively communicate by bringing complex ideas to life through design and 3D animation.
I have been a lifelong motorsport fan, and it is a field where I've had the privilege of collaborating with some of the industry's top brands. This includes assisting Indycar in designing the cars for the Indianapolis 500 and providing Formula One and other top-tier teams with creative tools for more impactful sponsorship presentations.
I bridge creative vision with technical implementation, spearheading your team to innovative, creative heights with big-picture, outside-the-box thinking and creative problem-solving. I have to understand the technical engineering before I can create pretty pictures. I will help you and your team engage and influence investors and customers at the highest levels.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my portfolio and If you think I can help, let's connect!

Testimonials
“Chris has been a great resource when called upon as it applies to vehicle styling. He provides excellent feedback and his ideas have been thoughtful and effective. He works fast and presents his ideas clearly. I highly recommend Chris.”
Tino Belli - Director of Aerodynamics - Indycar
"Aesthetics have an important role to play in the appeal of racecars, and the universal aerokit produced for the 2018 season by designer Chris Beatty and the series’ head of aerodynamic development Tino Belli made IndyCar the best-looking race series on the planet over the last two years."
David Malsher-Lopez - Motorsport.com
"Incredibly talented 2d/3d designer. He digested and expanded upon the briefs we gave him for the Formula 1 exhibition. Chris made our lives so easy with pre-visualisations, and conceptual artwork, before rigging up detailed models of the inner-mechanics of a Formula 1 car, the likes of which nobody has ever detailed before. He's a pleasure to work with, and the work itself is always stellar."
