About me
Hi, I'm Chris. I've been a product designer for 6 years—delivering results through focus, partnership and technical excellence.
I've worked in highly regulated industries like banking, life sciences, and advertising and have refined a strong focus on turning ambiguity into opportunity and clarity.
Coming from a start-up and agency background, I work passionately and build momentum quickly. That converts to faster results, strong partnerships, and better outcomes.
At heart, I'm genuinely interested in people! I believe that makes the difference, both for customers and at the office. My experience wearing multiple hats in research, marketing, and design is fueled by my relentless energy. I'll always try anything, and I'll always try hard.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time hosting dinner parties, practicing Muay Thai, and meandering about Chicago.
