Testimonials
“Chris possesses a wealth of graphic design capabilities and experience. He initially worked at Seagull in the Marketing group as their Senior Graphics Designer before transitioning to UX design. In his UX role, he made significant contributions to several key projects. He took ownership of all icon development and managed the SaaS product’s font library. Additionally, he played a crucial role in developing the information architecture, which streamlined the navigation of our SaaS products.
Chris also conducted numerous user experience studies that were instrumental in shaping the current look of our SaaS product. His efforts were a major contributing factor to developing the BarTender Cloud UX that we see today.”
“I primarily worked with Chris as he spearheaded an icon library project for re-use by several development teams. He has quite an artistic talent along with an incredible eye for detail. He was a major advocate for UX, and I’ll always appreciate his drive to make all of our products better with a true focus on quality and usability.
Overall, Chris is an incredibly talented friendly person and I hope to work with him in the future.”
“Chris has an exceptional talent in design, management, and being a team-player. He strives to make a comfortable work environment for the team and puts in the effort to provide critical constructive feedback. A professional with a sense of humor, I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with Chris on a marketing team.”
“There is absolutely no way I can say how much I appreciate all Chris has done for Threshold Group and for me. In particular, he has been a bridge between marketing leads – Chris not only kept us afloat, we moved forward in substantive ways with our brand, our website, business development, and collateral materials. He will always be a member of this family, one whose absence would leave a very visible and positive mark for years to come.”
“Christopher is smart, honest, dedicated and extremely hard working. In the time we have worked together, I have watched him affect change where needed, not just asking questions, but putting new practices into place that have brought success to our department. His skills in visual communications and web development have been invaluable.”
“Chris has been a contractor in my department for the past year and I wish we could keep him permanently! He has demonstrated strong web skills managing and creating content on our SharePoint 2010 corporate site and he has also stepped up on occasion to help me with our .NET based intranet.”
“Chris has provided great production support for web publishing projects at PSE. He has a good command of scoping the effort required and scheduling his availability for projects. He is talented and has made significant contributions to the graphic design of web projects. He makes thoughtful, smart suggestions and is easy to work with on a team. I would highly recommend Chris for a creative digital team and hope to work with him again.”
