My Portfolio – The personal website and portfolio for Chris Kobler, a visual designer, developer and marketing professional who currently resides in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area.

If you’re a small business looking for a top-tier developer, you’re in the right place. I’m Chris Kobler, an ADDY award-winning visual designer, developer, email, and marketing professional, who brings two decades of experience working with high-profile organizations to your small business.

I have worked with some of the largest advertising agencies in the world, including TracyLocke and TRG (formerly known as the Richards Group), and with global brands such as Pizza Hut, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, AMP Energy Drinks, Hewlett Packard, 24 Hour Fitness and Samsung. My in-house experience includes design and development work for LTK (formerly LikeToKnow.it and rewardStyle), Fossil, Southwest Airlines, Match.com, and Verizon.

When I’m not helping brands achieve their digital messaging goals, I love to explore new places beyond my home base in Dallas, Texas, with my wife, Christina. While traveling, I enjoy taking architectural photography and immersing myself in the local culture. My favorite excursions have been exploring Machu Picchu and sampling the brews at Oktoberfest.

I’m currently working as a freelance WordPress developer, and am taking new small business and solo clients looking to elevate their brands in 2023. If you’re interested in working with me, please visit my profiles on LinkedIn or Fiverr, or contact me directly via email.

Chris Kobler’s Portfolio

CMS Development (WordPress/HubSpot)

My primary professional focus is as a CMS-based (content management system-based) developer; most recently, I developed and managed the site for influencer marketing company LTK, which uses two different platforms: WordPress for retail and HubSpot for blogs and B2B.

Custom Website Development

Sometimes, a site built on a CMS just won’t cut it. I’ve been developing custom website since the early web; here is some fun throwback work for Pizza Hut and Jamba Juice. The best part is, I can leverage my knowledge of custom coding to add some interest to sites that are built on a CMS.

Email Development

Websites and email go hand-in-hand. At Fossil, I managed their marketing email deployment and development, improving engagement and deliverability. At Southwest Airlines, I consulted on their transition to a new email program and trained the department on their new platform. In more recent years, I’ve coded responsive emails for LTK, Nobilis Health, and various small business clients in the Dallas area.

Print, Logo and Graphic Design

Graphic design was my first true love. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I received my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in graphic design, and since then I’ve created countless logos, posters, identity card sets and other projects. While design isn’t my current focus, clients benefit from my background in the visual arts.
