In 2004 at the age of 18 and with no formal training Chuck began NoPattern Studio, a creative practice that spans a broad range of brand collaborations & art projects. His trademark use of vivid colors, surreal layering, and complex, experimental image-making has become instantly recognizable and led to collaborations with an impressive list of clients including Nike, Microsoft, ESPN, Chicago Bulls, Vans, and more.

Chuck co-founded seminal early internet blog THE BRILLIANCE! in 2005 along with friends Benjamin Edgar and Virgil Abloh, a project whose legacy has significantly influenced & educated people on youth culture, streetwear, art, design, and fashion. After designing the Microsoft Windows 7 desktop, Chuck was named a Design Icon by Computer Arts Magazine in 2009. In 2015 he added the role of Design Director to his resume, taking a position at global advertising agency Havas Chicago for 3 years followed by 2 years as the Group Creative Director at experiential agency MKTG. In May 2020 Chuck returned to his own practice and picked up right where he left off working with brands such as Johnnie Walker, Cheetos, Topps, TIME, GQ and Michelob among others while also continuing to expand his fine art practice with the release of artwork, self-published books, and exhibitions.
