ABOUT ME

Hi there, I'm Chris!

I'm a designer with an engineering foundation, driven by authentic expression and strategy.

I learned early in my study abroad in Japan that the best insights come from simply watching. Not software and surveys, but in coffee shops — noticing how people moved, paused, and interacted. Those tiny moments revealed everything. Research and system thinking became a mindset for me, not a step in a process.

Design to me is noticing patterns, tuning into subtle emotions, and shaping experiences that truly resonate with real people.

That same sensibility carries into how I work: translating complex technical systems into clear, human-centered workflows, partnering closely with engineering to ship scalable, adoption ready products. I create spaces for design where it has not flourished yet.

Previously at ToddSchneider Electric, and Air Force.
Based in Greater Boston.
