Hi. I'm Christopher.

Most five-year-old boys in 1996 were playing with their Buzz Lightyear and Woody Space Explorer Ship. I was writing and illustrating short stories, forcing my family to sit down so I could read them aloud, and playing with my Buzz Lightyear and Woody Space Explorer Ship.

Today, twenty-eight years later, my design and storytelling mediums have expanded. You'll find me planning a new project, drafting novels in my mind, making my spouse sit for a photoshoot, or developing websites for a living. I occasionally take a break from my home office to visit Disneyland. Some things never change.

Storytelling through design has been on my mind for as long as I can remember. Since the day my family added a PC to our kitchen when I was a child, I have used the internet nearly every day to create.

From crayons to HTML to print, this is my design story. If you'd prefer to see my more professional qualifications, check out my recent work.
