Colleagues describe them as "Chris is an amazing designer, leader, and collaborator, is an utmost professional - and one of my favorite people to work with period. I served on the Executive Leadership Team with Chris for a number of years at Second Story where he was consistently a calm voice of wisdom through every situation. He is also incredibly supportive to the design staff as a leader, providing focused time with everyone to help them grow as design professionals. From my perspective as a technologist, he is wonderful to collaborate with. He seeks to understand technology, is inspired by new possibilities that it brings and yet is also able to collaborate with us to work around limitations in a way that is always design-forward with an uncompromising level of quality. He is not afraid to push the envelope, but is also not afraid to dial things back a bit in order to balance business goals and budget limitations, although no end-user would ever think this to be the case since everything he touches is so beautifully refined. Chris is incredibly multi-talented and is able to think in 2D, 3D, in motion, and at physical scale, all while leading complex teams of art directors, animators, architects, and industrial designers. He is a laser focused individual who works incredibly fast, hard, and with a passion for great work. I have continued to learn so much from him over our years of working with one another. He is also unbelievably humble for someone so talented, does not hesitate to roll up his sleeves to help with “grunt work” when needed, and is always striving for ways to challenge himself to hone and expand his craft expertise." and "Chris and I worked together at Second Story for over 8 years. He was the designer on several projects I worked on and later, as Design Director, provided creative oversight for the whole company. More than just providing great creative ideas and beautiful designs, Chris is able to arrive at a solid, internally-consistent design vision and then ensure that those core principles are followed throughout the project. He’s a calming and solid presence in client meetings, able to communicate not just the vision but the underlying reasons behind it, even when working with difficult clients. And, Chris is always approachable and easy to collaborate with. As a developer, I have always appreciated his ability to maintain creative consistency while being flexible and patient enough to help developers work through technical challenges. "
