A self-proclaimed typography nerd, Chryssi’s first glimpse into her love of design started at an early age, when she was asked to create and illustrate the cover of the programme for her elementary school’s production of Peter Pan. Not realizing that she could follow a career making fancy programmes (amongst other such important collateral), she veered into a short stint in architecture and urban planning before realizing that graphic design was a viable, and preferable, career option. Since her first day in design school amongst like-minded peers swooning over the latest font release, Chryssi knew she had found her calling.

Chryssi worked as an art director and in-house designer for many large retailers before deciding to launch Chroma. Her stationery and illustrative work has been featured at BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, and Oh She Glows, and is also sold at Target. She is truly dedicated to all of her clients, balancing thoughtful design solutions with a clean and modern graphic aesthetic.

When she is not scrolling through the latest font launches, you can find Chryssi making delicious plant-based baked goods, enjoying the company of her adorable cat interns, Baguette and Olive, or rewatching episodes of The Office with Romain for at least the tenth time.

Romain started tinkering in the webs before it was cool – a long ago time in 1999 when rotation gifs were a thing, Google was still a project in someone’s garage and your phone was at best a not-so-smart brick. This early pioneer grew up in the Southwest region of France near Toulouse and followed his early interest in all web related things by studying Art, Design and Technology in Interactive Media before moving to Canada.

Prior to starting Chroma with Chryssi, Romain worked several roles for small businesses and web agencies, as webmaster, HTML integrator, and in big media corporations as a front end web developer and project manager. His attention to detail, his problem-solving skills, and his ability to stay cool as a cucumber under high-stress situations, are all key to successfully delivering highly functional, user-friendly websites and organized systems to his clients.

In his spare time, Romain enjoys falling asleep watching Formula 1, traveling to the winemaking areas of Italy or France, discovering obscure post rock bands, photography and soaking up the sun of the south during winter.

Baguette & Olive are fluffy Siberians, always on the lookout for their next treat. When they are not eating, they like to help out by lying on top of keyboards or napping on desks behind screens to ensure that all work at Chroma is just purrfect.
