Chris Van Dyke

(he/him) - Founder, Editor

‘What if… ?’ It’s this outlook that drives CVD and has helped him shape some of the industry’s most famous and decorated work from the last few decades. Founder. Award-Winning Editor and Storyteller. Mentor. He doesn’t just work with creatives, he approaches every project as one himself, wondering - What can we do that’s different? What new tech and innovation can be used? How can I use my opposable thumbs in a whole new way? Always with an ‘idea first’ approach. He fosters this curious mindset in himself, and in everyone he works with. Smile+Wave isn’t just his brain child - it’s his life mantra.
