About the Speaker
Chris is an interactive designer, coder, and graphic designer with over 16 years of industry experience. From concepting museum experiences, choosing the right interpretive media, or wiring and coding, Chris strives to engage visitors who expect more out of their experience. In an increasingly more digital world, Chris values in-person, physical exhibits, using interactive experiences to bring moments not possible anywhere else. The tech should disappear leaving a sense of awe and magic. Chris makes visitors weep, jump for joy, point to share, and ask others to join in the fun. Chris’s every step is thoughtful creating accessible, approachable, and inclusive experiences. Chris knows the importance of choosing the interpretive message before the media. With a calm attitude, Chris works smoothly under pressure to produce quality results. Chris is conscientious of project budgets and schedules. Chris will make it easy for the project team, building the interactive media requiring less maintenance, all while blowing visitors’ minds.
