About Chris

If this was being written in the third person, it would talk about how Chris is a designer who’s worked in just about every area of design at least once, had over a decade of experience in marketing and web design before focusing on UX and product design, and shifted towards visual design while studying architecture in school after realizing a lot of architects never really design anything. Thank goodness we’re not taking that approach.

I’m a designer in sunny Austin, TX, land of breakfast tacos, cowboy hippies, and good coffee. I spent a good part of my design career in Houston (bigger, flatter, better TexMex but less plentiful breakfast tacos) working for a range of entities from boutique design studios to larger consulting firms. Several years of that period were spent at a marketing firm specializing in commercial real estate marketing where I was “doing UX” for digital signage applications before realizing that’s what I was actually doing. After that I spent some time working in design and motion graphics for a fintech before shifting my primary focus to UX and product design. I was most recently a product designer at Rev leading design on Rev Max, the Rev mobile app, and several other teams, and I'm now looking for my next opportunity.

I love design in all its forms, and the fact that I get to draw for a living in some form or fashion thrills me to no end. Outside of product design I have an interest in branding as well as video, VFX, and FUI design and I’m always dabbling on a few side projects. I’ve also been cowriting and directing an animated short film called Pure for a few years, a scifi action adventure inspired by Indiana Jones and Blade Runner and lots of other cool stuff from the 80s.

When I’m not designing you’ll find me playing soccer around Austin and attending Austin FC matches, frequently visiting movie theaters to get my cinema fix, and exploring new spots for caffeine or beer. I’m always up for working on interesting projects, so if you’d like to collaborate on something drop me a line.
