Recognition & Accolades

A collection of quotes and feedback from students and co-workers about me. Names have been withheld for privacy and/or work-contract agreement. Student feedback was anonymized by college on students behalf. Many co-worker comments came through annual 360 feedback and was anonymized by company.

I remember when I first called you about UX. I was so nervous because I had never talked to a real person about UX, and was very lonely in my youtube land. But the nerves quickly dissipated after that first chat. Without a doubt, I wouldn’t be where I am without your guidance!

Chris does outstanding work and has extreme attention to detail. He takes his time to educate all parties involved in any project and is extremely thorough. Every campaign and project that I have worked on with Chris has been beyond successful and he always over-delivers. Hire Chris if you are looking to achieve success and learn what works throughout the process.

You give me everything I need and even things I didn’t know I needed. I feel really lucky to get to have your guidance. And I learn things passively from you just by hearing the things you’re up to :)

Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Instructor did a great job and appreciated his practical experience. He explained Photoshop in a way that I can understand. Thanks for a great class.

Since I decided to make a career change into the design field, Chris has been an excellent mentor, teacher, and collaborator. His enthusiasm for design shows in every interaction and his attention to detail makes him the perfect person to learn from and work with.

Chris has a depth of experience like few I’ve ever met in this industry. His understanding of professionalism in design is second to none. Because of his dedication to understanding the needs of the user, working with Chris brings an assurance that you’re going to get the best solution, period.

Chris is a strong advocate for accessibility, conscientiously incorporating principles of inclusivity into his designs to ensure that all users, regardless of ability, can interact with digital products comfortably.

The instructor was very intelligent and lots of information. He made the class very smooth going. He was excellent. I learned so much with his teaching style, very perpared, great interaction.

Chris has the kind of depth and breadth of knowledge that made our products game changers in the market.

Chris has great passion for his trade. He is very knowledgeable. I like that we got to see real world applications learning CSS.

It’s challenging to find someone who understands the nuts and bolts of web design and marketing, AND who can explain it in layman’s terms. That’s Chris.

Chris is a friendly mentor who knows his stuff and is always willing to go above and beyond to help others. For example, he spent a thorough 5 hours with me going through my UX design portfolio and suggesting design changes, and I imagine he spent hours before then going through my portfolio and taking notes. He’s meticulous, passionate about design and eager to help.

Chris possesses an insatiable thirst for knowledge and innovation in design. His commitment to continuous learning and improvement is evident in the impeccable quality of his work.

Good material and very helpful instructor made this class useful to my personality.

Extremely informative, answered all questions and took the time to explain to me. The course was above my skill level, but very glad I was able to learn all I could. If my knowledge base was highter, I’d change nothing.

Hands on appplication, personable instructor. I am interested in taking advanced Dreamweaver and Photoshop.

Chris possesses a wonderful work ethic that sets him apart in the field. His commitment to delivering high-quality results is evident in the thoroughness with which he approaches each project. Whether faced with a complex design challenge or a tight deadline, Chris consistently demonstrates a strong sense of responsibility and dedication to producing outstanding work.

Chris knows through and through about what good design is, and always encourages me to not only meet those standards but exceed them. I wouldn’t have the invaluable depth of knowledge and critical thinking skills I have now if it wasn’t for Chris.

Learned more than I expeded about web design. (He) takes the necessary time to clear up confusion that sometimes books seem to cause. I would definitely recommend him.

Chris is a talented and dedicated UX designer and I have consistently been impressed with his work ethic, attention to detail, and effective communication skills.

I like that Chris gave real world examples and explained some design techniques. Gave me some good ideas!

Chris’s communication skills are a key strength that greatly enhances his effectiveness as a UX designer. He is not only articulate but also has a knack for conveying complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. This not only facilitates smooth collaboration within the team but also ensures that project goals and objectives are communicated effectively to all stakeholders.

I mean this in a good way, but Chris has incredibly scary attention to detail.

Chris did a great job! His instruction was clear and informative. I would definitely take more classes from him.

Chris, anytime I have ever come to you with a question, idea, topic to discuss, frustration, or anything of the sort, I have never once walked away without a deep understanding AND more. You’re an amazing person and professional and it’s clear that helping and teaching others is something you’re wired to do.

One of Chris’s standout qualities is his keen attention to detail. His work reflects a meticulous and careful approach, ensuring that every aspect of a project is well-thought-out and explicit. This level of detail not only enhances the overall quality of his designs but also contributes to a seamless user experience.

Chris did an excellent job teaching and keeping the class engaged.

One of Chris’s standout qualities is his innate ability to empathize with users. He approaches each project with a deep understanding of user needs and behaviors, ensuring that his designs not only look stunning but also provide a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Chris was my go to guy when I needed something simple or something no one else could figure out.

His passion for design is infectious, inspiring those around him to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

Chris is a very friendly, easy going teacher. I enjoyed the side lecture outside of the book.

Chris’s ability to follow direction and lead with a concise plan makes him an invaluable asset to any project. Whether working independently or as part of a team, Chris consistently demonstrates a capacity to understand and execute tasks with precision. His ability to balance creativity with pragmatism makes him a versatile and effective team member.

Chris develops incredibly creative ad solutions for customers.

Chris was a great instructor, very knowledgeable, took the time to explain and went more in-depth than expected.

Chris is an amazing colleague, teacher, and mentor. Any project or problem, he is always ready and willing to help out.

Instructor excellent. Gave excellent info. Excelled personality gifted in teaching.

Great job on pacing. Very good at explaining what all the terms mean. Very great course for beginners.

Chris was a great teacher and I believe you have a large crowd if we could do a CSS class to help with design. A CSS class is a must have. It is 90% of what I need to complete this project. Please !!

Great class! Chris is an excellent teacher! I learned 100 times more than I thought I would. I enjoyed his style and like how he showed several options for example and expounded on what was in the books.

This course has been extermely helpful to me. The instructor is very knowledgeable and communicates very well.
