Hey there! I’m Chris.
I’m a product designer based in Austin, TX with 10 years of experience. I try to be thoughtful and intentional with every detail to create user-centered design solutions that are simple, impactful, and intuitive. While I always focus on user needs, I also make sure the solutions meet address business goals too. With a robust background in design strategy, interaction design, and user research, I bring ideas to life through thoughtful problem-solving and collaboration.

I’m currently working at Flatiron Health, helping to improve cancer care. Prior companies include Dealerware, Babylon Health, USAA, and IBM. I’ve done 0-1 launches, deep user research, worked individually, and led teams. I have experience designing for web, native iOS and Android, and cross-platform React Native. I’ve contributed to and helped manage design systems. I also enjoy mentoring newer designers.
Back in the day, I received my Masters in HCI from the University of Michigan School of Information. I was an Executive Officer of the ACM CHI student org, and I helped make World IA Day Ann Arbor happen. Before that, I studied Economics at the University of Florida (Go Gators!! 🐊).
I spend my free time playing soccer with my dog, almost finishing a Friday crossword, and making unnecessarily complex spreadsheets to plan trips, side projects, or my fantasy football draft. I’m passionate about addressing climate change and engaged in sustainability efforts. I enjoy reading sci-fi and mysteries, bowling, and occasionally doing improv and standup.
