Chris little
Profile
I’m a Creative Director, living in Yaroomba, Queensland. A Cancerian, which they say makes me a mumma’s boy – love you Mum. An only child and father to two hyperactive little grommets named Finn and Mila. An obsessed surfer who’s luckily found an equally obsessed surfing partner. And a self diagnosed OCD sufferer who’s spent far too long writing this paragraph to almost achieve unforced justification.
