CTO, Openblend
Chris was in my team at OpenBlend for just about 2 years. I strongly recommend Chris to anyone considering working with him – I would collaborate with him again in a heartbeat. I found Chris to be thoughtful, warm, fun, insightful, caring, hard-working, passionate. He wants to understand the motivations of the users of his products, as well as considering best-practice design principles. This drives him to create designs that work well, look good, and meet the needs of the end-user as well as the needs of his client/business.
John Lynch
UX Director, Lakeshore Learning
Over the 5 years Christopher worked with me as a Sr. UI/UX Designer, I saw him grow into a engaging and charismatic leader with a keen eye for quality. His level of technical prowess was without question, and the passion he brought to all of his work was truly inspiring to myself and the other members of our team. Christopher has a unique ability to marry his artistic talent with the practical and the empathetic. He creates designs that are timeless, while maintaining an awareness of the modern trends seen in Product and UX design. Christopher puts all of himself into his work and his results reflect that.

Christopher is gifted with a unique skill set. Having worked with him for many years he has proven to possess all the intangibles that don’t show up on resumes, he is honest, dedicated, loyal, and passionate in everything he does and will greatly be missed. His experience and skill level with design (graphic and web), illustration and motion graphics mixed with his genuine personality, intelligence and patience will make him a perfect fit anywhere he goes. Thanks Chris!!
