Designing for Humans, Developing for Performance.

About

At the core of my approach to web development is a simple but powerful philosophy: designing for humans and developing for performance. I focus on creating user-centered designs that prioritize accessibility, simplicity, and intuitive interaction, ensuring that every website I build is a pleasure to use. At the same time, I emphasize efficient, scalable code and optimized performance, delivering fast, reliable, and future-proof solutions. This balance between design and development enables me to craft digital experiences that truly connect with users while meeting the technical demands of the modern web.

    Creative Director at Lillio

    Working with Chris has been one of the smoothest and most rewarding professional experiences I’ve had. His technical expertise is unparalleled—whether it’s writing CSS, managing a CMS, or working with React libraries, Chris consistently delivers with precision and ease.

    What truly sets Chris apart, though, is his unwavering "can-do" attitude. No matter how complex or challenging a project may be, Chris approaches it with determination and creativity. Even amidst the countless ambitious (and sometimes downright crazy) requests from our marketing team, I can’t recall a single instance of him saying, "No." Instead, he embraces challenges head-on, finding innovative solutions to deliver results that often exceed expectations.

    A standout moment from our time working together was during HiMama's rebrand to Lillio. Chris played a pivotal role in standing up a fully redesigned website in just a few months, despite having minimal support. His ability to navigate hurdles with efficiency and maintain a positive, team-oriented mindset made an enormous difference during such a critical time.

    Chris is an incredible team player with exceptional technical skills and an admirable drive to succeed. I can't recommend him highly enough!

    Chris is simply a joy to work with - he delivers on time, always sets a high bar for the quality of his work, can independently manage and prioritize tasks and best yet is simply just a good human that everyone on the team always likes to be around.

    Chris and I worked together from 2016 to 2020. Chris was brought into the organization to help us reboot our very public flagship web application. Chris aligned our front-end web development designs and practices with state-of-the-art tools and techniques, which has had a lasting impression on our product and culture. Given the opportunity, I wouldn't think twice about working with Chris again.
