Accolades from Folks
DM - Content Director
I've had the pleasure of working alongside Chris for 6+ years—first as his supervisor and then as his director-level peer. Chris has been a strong advocate for the end-user in every creative decision. He is a deep thinker who also knows when it's time to buckle down and get things done. In training new employees, he has a teaching style that I have sought to emulate in my own mentoring approach. His expertise in video and web helped elevate our creative offerings and break out of the "same old, same old" yet he also adapted well to learning the nuances of print design and sought to improve those offerings, as well. I wholeheartedly endorse Chris as a visionary creative leader for your team.
JB - Design Director
I worked with Chris remotely for nearly 3 years, both as a direct report of his, and later, a peer. Every decision of his is driven by a deep understanding of and appreciation for UX/UI and ROI, while being dedicated to making his team successful on an individual level and as a whole. He is unerring in his professionalism, has strong emotional intelligence, and champions a diverse workplace and the unique skills and backgrounds different team members' posess. He is a product thought leader and always on board to test and implement new products and processes to drive client success. I can't recommend Chris enough!

EO - SVP, Marketing
Chris is an incredibly versatile and incredibly thoughtful creative force. Always the voice in the room reminding us to focus on the customer experience, Chris' deep UX empathy and world-class chops in both the art direction, graphic design, video, and animation realms has made him an absolutely invaluable creative lead for our organization.
NL - Marketing Leader
His current title might be art director, but Chris deserves a second title as well: UX designer. Chris recognizes that the user's intent, path, and actions come first, and that design and content should always seek to fulfill and exceed user expectations. He is very collaborative, asking for advice while also bringing his own ideas to the table. You can expect Chris to come to work every day determined to build the best designs possible.
MH - VP Creative
I have had the pleasure of working with Chris for sometime now. His Marketing background and eye for design make him an exceptional UX designer. Chris' desire to find real data driven solutions have helped him rise above in this respect. Chris has also shown a great willingness to adapt to changing environments and had taken on video production and established himself as highly capable in this area as well. When working with Chris you knew he would research, data mine and work to really make educated design decisions that the user could respond to.
