Chris Carthern
Atlanta-born. Global citizen.
The Journey
Engineer by training, storyteller by passion. From the halls of Morehouse to exploring 40+ countries, every experience shapes my mission to amplify underrepresented voices through the worlds I create.
Currently creating from Seattle — but forever rooted in Atlanta.
Morehouse College
Where brotherhood and excellence converged. The foundation that taught me to create with purpose and amplify Black stories.
Global Wanderer
I've lived in over 40 countries. Every place adds texture to my lens and voice.
DragonCon
My first cosplay convention. Where imagination found family.
Atlanta
Where it all began. Born and raised here, and it remains the source of soul in every story I tell.
The Foundation
Morehouse College wasn't just where I studied Computer Science — it was where I learned the power of brotherhood, excellence, and the responsibility that comes with amplifying Black voices.
Walking these halls shaped not just my technical skills, but my understanding of what it means to create with purpose. Every project I build today carries the lessons learned here: that our stories matter, our perspectives are needed, and our creativity can change the world.
"Excellence without arrogance, leadership through service."

The Work
Every project is a new world to explore, a new story to tell, a new way to amplify underrepresented voices and connect with the human experience.
Captain Zero
Superhero Universe
A groundbreaking superhero universe built from the ground up. Vulnerability becomes strength, and zero becomes everything.
Film & Sound
Cinematic Storytelling
Where visual storytelling meets sonic landscapes. Original films, scores, and audio experiments that give voice to characters and worlds.
Photography
Moments in Time
From Bangkok timelapses to intimate cosplay portraits. Every shot is an intentional frame — part archive, part protest, part poem.
Let's Create
You might not know where I live, but I'm always down to build.
