Chris Murch is a Toronto-based designer, animator, and visual artist working across film, television, advertising, print, and digital media. Since 2007, he has built a practice rooted in atmosphere, texture, and visual systems, creating design and motion work for clients including Property Brothers, Budweiser, and Tim Hortons. He was also the designer for the feature documentary Betrayal, where his title, graphic, and motion design helped shape the film’s visual language.
His work increasingly focuses on developing design worlds for film and screen-based projects: visual identities, title treatments, motion graphics, archival interventions, and cohesive graphic systems that deepen story, tone, and place. His own art explores dispossession, urban landscapes, post-apocalyptic imagination, psychedelia, escapism, and radical hope.
Alongside his creative practice, Chris is active in tenant organizing and neighbourhood advocacy, working with residents to fight evictions, improve housing conditions, and build collective power. Whether through image-making or organizing, he is interested in the worlds people inherit, the conditions they endure, and the futures they fight to imagine.
