About Me
Chad Matthew Danford
Creative Director / Front-End Designer & Developer / Photographer
At 22, I made the decision to stay in Germany and build a life and career in a country that wasn’t my own. That choice shaped my independence, my curiosity, and my way of seeing the world. I move between photography, design, and code as different ways of observing, understanding, and creating. Running and cycling are part of how I think—they give me space, structure, and perspective. I’m drawn to thoughtful work, long-term ideas, and building things that feel both human and well-crafted.

Skills that make an impact
Blending design, code, and creativity to craft meaningful experiences.
Art Direction
Great design tells a story. I craft visual narratives that connect and endure—defining brand identities, shaping campaigns, and refining aesthetics with clarity and purpose.
Frontend Development
I merge design and technology to build intuitive, engaging interfaces. Clean code and thoughtful details turn concepts into seamless digital experiences that balance beauty and function.
Photography
I first explored photography during my design studies and later rediscovered it as a missing creative link. It’s my way to observe, slow down, and capture light, detail, and emotion—stories only the lens can tell.
Snapshots & Stories
A glimpse behind the lens
My Instagram is where creativity meets everyday life. From behind-the-scenes moments to spontaneous captures, it’s a space to share glimpses of inspiration, process, and the visual ideas that shape my work.
