Hi, I'm Chris
I'm an experienced Creative Director with a passion for transforming brands and building high-performing teams.
As a people-oriented, process-focused creative leader in Northern California, I bring 17 years of design, marketing, and business experience that enables me to guide teams in building authentic, recognizable, and scalable brands. I’m a problem solver with a passion for making the complex feel straightforward and approachable, all while maintaining the highest quality. Thriving in collaborative environments, I’m comfortable working across mediums—and I have an endless supply of pop-culture references when the moment calls for it.
My leadership philosophy centers on creating an environment where creatives feel safe to share their ideas, take risks, express their creativity, and enjoy the process. I give every team member a voice in shaping our design operations and culture, fostering a sense of ownership and agency that keeps high-quality talent engaged. By providing clear processes, essential tools, and strong support, I enable my team to focus on what they do best—producing elevated, impactful work without the friction of unproductive tasks.
My role as a creative leader extends beyond building distinctive brands; I’m dedicated to cultivating passionate, empathetic, and humble future leaders. Nurturing internal talent not only benefits our team but also enhances the value we deliver to our customers.
Outside of work, I’m happiest outdoors. Whether hiking with my dog and girlfriend, hanging out with my 12-year-old daughter, Emma, tinkering in my garage, or losing myself in a mystery novel on the porch, I’m always seeking new experiences and inspiration.
