Studio XIV (Fourteen) is the brainchild of me, Joel Chris. Born and raised in the city of Melbourne, I have been in the design field for over a decade. Alongside my freelance work, I have been employed by two major sporting bodies, the Australian Football League (AFL) and Racing Victoria, whilst still holding onto my childhood dream of being a basketball star.

What does Fourteen represent?
My artistic journey began at a young age, armed with butcher's paper and paints, where I initially started with family stick figure portraits. No one but me could understand what those brushstrokes meant, I knew I could not get enough of it, and from there, my love for art and design grew. My mother, Mary, shared my love for art and served as a significant influence during my upbringing. She was not only my biggest fan but also a guiding light as I embarked on my design journey. I believe all artists are born with the skill, it just needs to be explored.

With Studio XIV, I continue my creative exploration. The name "Fourteen" holds a special significance as it was my mother's number, and now it represents me as a designer. It symbolises my profound gratitude for her guidance which continues to shape my creative path.

My expertise spans various design realms, encompassing both print and digital, with a particular passion for photography. I take pride in crafting innovative and versatile solutions for a diverse clientele across various platforms.
