Chris is obsessed with the way everything around him works and communicates. Hailing from Drexel’s Westphal School of Design, he entered the industry working with toy packaging and user interface design. Ever since, he’s been striving to lend his eye for function and aesthetics to a variety of industries. When he’s not in the studio, he’s probably out searching for new dive bars in Philly or trying to bag some ducks down in the Chesapeake lowcountry.
