Hello Waving hand emoji

Hi again

-

I'm Chris, and that adorable sidekick with me is Jäger. Based near the sunny beaches of California, I’m a proud product designer. My journey started at 14, crafting custom Myspace overlays—good times, right?

Curious about human behavior, I studied Psychology and Human-Computer Interaction in college, even spending a year in England for an HCI research program.

Today, I design experiences for companies like LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Meta, finding real joy in creating things that connect with people.

Outside of design, you’ll catch me volunteering for the cutest little league team, racing cars, DJing, snapping photos, or cheering at a baseball game. I’m always trying out the next adventure—life’s too short not to.

What I love to work on

Brain

Strategy & Direction

I define problems, map out the scope, and build a clear design roadmap—setting every project up for 100% success.

User in love

User Experience / Interaction Design

No stressed-out users here. I design and build products people love to use—storyboarding, prototyping, IA, and everything in between.

Visual Design / Brand Identity

From logos and brochures to full product designsystems, I create designs that balance beauty, brand identity, and accessibility.

Native

Native App Design

We live on the move, and so should your app. I design mobile experiences that feel natural, fast, and right at home in your pocket.

User research

User Research

With a background in psychology, research is second nature. I dig deep to understand users, run test sessions, and find the insights that drive smart design.

"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!
