About

I’m Chris — a senior designer with 10+ years of experience. I care a lot about using design for positive impact. Currently based in Seattle, Washington.

As a designer, I've navigated the space where brand identity meets user experience. My career began in the fast-paced world of broadcast design at Fox Sports, where I learned to communicate complex stories visually and work under tight deadlines. This foundation in motion and narrative seamlessly transitioned into the tech industry, where I've spent years helping companies like Microsoft, Tanium, and Upbound articulate their vision and solve complex problems.

My approach is rooted in the belief that strong design is built on strong systems. Whether I'm directing a full rebrand, as I did for NextStep's pivot to B2B, or evolving a product's visual language, like the icon system at Tanium, I focus on creating scalable, intentional work that serves both the user and the business. I don't just design artifacts; I build durable frameworks that empower teams and ensure consistency.
