Hello and welcome! Let’s build something great together.
I'm a design leader with over a decade of experience across diverse industries, blending strategy, creativity, and user-centered thinking to craft meaningful experiences with impact.
I specialize in harmonizing usability and aesthetics to ensure that design solutions not only engage users but also drive business success. I leverage user research and data analytics to inform my design choices, and I consistently champion for the user to guarantee the best possible experience for them.
Creating strong relationships across the organization is essential to building foundational trust and partnerships. These relationships create opportunities to influence, push innovation, gain support, collaborate effectively, and secure buy-in from partners outside of the design team.
Empathy is the foundation for my work, whether it’s designing user experiences or building partnerships in the organization, I strive to understand perspectives and create meaningful connections. I’m passionate about mentorship, continuous learning, and tackling new challenges with optimism. Staying positive in every situation and inspiring my colleagues are essential to my approach. Whether shaping products, brand identities, or creative strategies, I thrive at the intersection of vision and execution.

“Chris and I worked together at iD Tech for nearly six years! During that time, he brought the coolest, calmest, most collaborative energy to any project we worked on together--always positive, always thoughtful. I also deeply appreciated how he stayed so on top of current UI/UX trends and shared his knowledge with me. This was incredibly useful to me as a copywriter and helped me level up my own work. He's the best of the best at what he does and it was honestly a pleasure to get to be on his team at iD.”

His collaboration during our shared vision for the product was not only inspiring but pivotal in our successes. Chris combines a deep passion for impactful design with a seamless ability to collaborate, all while balancing the nuanced demands of business objectives.
The period I spent working alongside Chris was marked by his enthusiastic advocacy for discovery, usability, and outcome-oriented design. His expertise was crucial to the achievements of our team at Coterie, consistently leaving me energized and impressed by his contributions.
