Chris de Waal McKenzie

Building brands that mean something.

About

The person behind the work.

Christopher is a father and co-founded Unlmtd Agency in 2017 alongside his wife Roz — a Brisbane-based creative studio built on a philosophy of boundless creativity and limitless potential. Specialising in brand strategy, graphic design, custom art, murals, and bespoke wallpaper, the studio creates bold visual identities and immersive environments that transform spaces and brands alike. As an approved Local Buy supplier, Unlmtd proudly serves government organisations and businesses across South East Queensland.

As an artist, Christopher has delivered over 900 commissioned artworks for some of Australia's most prestigious hospitality and property projects — from The Star and Mondrian Hotels to Intercontinental Hayman Island and the Westin Brisbane. His work has been exhibited at Ipswich Art Gallery and HOTA, and he holds accreditation with both the Design Institute of Australia and the Australian Graphic Design Association.

Outside the studio, Christopher is a husband, soon-to-be father, Geelong Cats supporter, and someone who tends an olive tree with perhaps too much optimism for Brisbane's climate.
