👋 Hey there!

I'm Chris, a product, visual, and interaction designer.  

I'm currently designing at Gemini as a Principal Product Designer, helping to redefine how individuals and institutions experience the financial system and money.

In my role, I lead teams of product designers, researchers, and copywriters, while partnering closely with product, engineering and business leaders. My teams help make sense of complex emerging crypto products, form a clear point of view, research, design, and deliver the right solution for our customers.

I’ve worked at some great companies throughout my career, where I learned how to strategize, design, and build digital products. Most recently at Northwestern Mutual (formerly LearnVest) as a Senior Director of Product Design, where I built out a design discipline and studio at the NM headquarters in the great city of Milwaukee. Read about our team on the Invision Genome Project. Prior work experience includes interactive and design industry leaders Razorfish and VSA Partners, in addition to consulting with Critical Mass and SapientNitro.

Aside from my day job, I was a principal and founding member of BlueCity LLC. Read about us on Wired.com. I also participated as a member of Invision's Design Leadership Forum.

When I'm not staring at a computer screen, I'm either chauffeuring my kids around to activities or doing a home improvement project.
