My name is Charlie Burt and this is my studio! I wear a lot of hats around here including but not limited to graphic designer, illustrator, photographer, typographer, and resident cat-handler. Operating in the Kansas City area for more than a decade in varying creative capacities—from freelancer to full-time Creative Director— I've developed a passion for branding, identity, packaging, and menu development with a special focus on the food & beverage and spirits industries.
Some current and past clients and associations include J. Rieger & Co., Hotel Kansas City, Bronson's Milk Punch, Port Fonda, Altamar Brands, Riddle Wines, Mount Fair Farm, The Monarch Bar, Julep, Westport Cafe, and many more.
I'm always interested in working with new clients of all sorts to explore their projects and bring them to life. I love a good challenge—drop me a line below and let's get to work!

In 2019, I had the opportunity to begin working on the branding and label design for Bronson's, a bottled cocktail unlike any other on the market, released July 2021. Leaning into the mystique and transformative nature of the milk punch clarification method itself, the brand embraces a play on alchemical legend and iconography.
