Chris Hill studied Art and Design at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and taught Digital Design at his alma mater. Within two years of entering the field, Chris had clients requesting that he go out on his own and thus Strategies In Design (SID) was launched with his partner, Stephen Jones.

Stephen's academic training in Architecture at Auburn University was followed by a Marketing MBA from Indiana University. This unique background led him to ad agencies Leo Burnett, Ted Bates New York and later Euro RSCG. His client-service and marketing focus combined with Chris' strength as a graphic designer to make a micro-boutique advertising and graphic agency.

Strategies in Design  is sized to allow the principals to work on every project...together. And to work on projects from clients with whom they want to work. Founded in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood back in 1989, SID is positioned to help nice people build nice businesses.
