We Are Agriculture is a year-long series that will highlight the hard-work done by employees across the Department of Agriculture. Chris Goodwin, Graphic Designer with our Art Department, is one of those employees. Stay tuned each Wednesday here on the blog or any of our social media accounts and join us in honoring those who continue to drive our state’s agriculture industry forward each day!

Graphic design is often not a field associated with the world of agriculture, but Chris Goodwin, Graphic Designer with our Art Department, would beg to differ.

Growing up in Knightdale, Chris was involved with agriculture at a young age but didn’t quite see it as the field for him until he graduated from college. “As a kid, I often helped my parents in our home garden or my aunt and uncle on their large-scale farming operation near Roanoke Rapids, so I was aware of agriculture and the lifestyle that could be pursed in this industry,” he said, “but it wasn’t until I graduated from Johnston Community College with a degree in graphic design that I ever thought I would establish my professional career within agriculture.” In 1998, right after graduation, Chris started his job with the NCDA&CS Art Department and has never looked back.
