Hello Waving hand emoji

Hi again

-

I'm Chris, and that adorable companion of mine is Jäger. Nestled near the sunny beaches of California, I proudly don the hat of a product designer. My journey in design commenced at the tender age of 14, crafting personalized overlays for the iconic Myspace. Ah, the nostalgia, right?

As my curiosity burgeoned, I found myself drawn to the intricacies of human behavior, leading me to pursue studies in Psychology and Human-Computer Interaction during undergrad. During my junior year, I had the honor of representing my school in a prestigious year-long HCI research program nestled in the scenic landscapes of England.

Fast forward to the present day, and you'll find me orchestrating design magic for the masses at esteemed companies such as eBay, Yahoo, and Meta. There's an undeniable joy in crafting experiences that resonate deeply with users.

When I'm not immersed in the world of design, you'll likely find me indulging in my eclectic array of passions. From volunteering and revving engines on the racetrack to spinning tracks as a DJ and capturing moments through the lens of my camera, I'm a man of varied interests. Oh, and let's not forget my enduring love for baseball and the thrill of exploring new destinations. Life's an adventure, and I'm here for every exhilarating moment of it.

What I love to work on

Brain

Strategy & Direction

Defining the problem, identifying the scope and finally, organizing the design roadmap to bring out 100% of every project.

User in love

User Experience / Interaction Design

No furrowed brows. I design and build products users absolutely love to use! From storyboarding, prototyping, information architecture and everything in between.

Visual Design / Brand Identity

I can do everything from the graphic design of logos and brochures to entire product design systems. With an eye for aesthetics but also for accessibility.

Native

Native App Design

We are in the mobile age. People are always on the go and have a computer in their pocket. Stand out with your own app.

"Capable of taking a product from conceptual thinking all the way to deployment"

Chris is capable of taking a product from conceptual thinking all the way to deployment. This includes brainstorming, wireframing, mocking up, UI, user testing and making iterations, to deploying and monitoring. He understands and embraces project limitations such as time, tech debt, and scope. Chris is also a great colleague and capable in providing feedback on other design projects. His impact is already missed.

"Excellent UX/UI designer"

Chris is an excellent UX/UI designer that I had the pleasure to work with. He  understands what it takes to design an effective user experience as I witnessed during a round of focus group testing where the respondents overwhelmingly had a favorable impression of the FreshFeed mobile app design and user interface. Chris would make a great addition to any organization and I would work again with Chris in a heartbeat!
