About Me

Graphic Designer & Print Specialist

Hi, I'm Chris, a graphic designer based in Seattle who knows way too much about print production. I have an insatiable curiosity which has made me into a life-long learner and determined problem solver. I also love reading, drinking coffee (perhaps a little too much), and I refuse to live in a world without spicy food.

My Experience

Sr. Production Designer

As PitchBook’s Sr. Production Designer, I run their production design team. In my first year, I introduced a new process for handling sales enablement collateral to streamline content updates across hundreds of design files. I pitched a phased approach to environmental design for large-scale events allowing more time for designers to design and stakeholders to review before production even begins. I also brought the blog and email code libraries up to date with current best practices and founded a workshop series, End of HumAnIty, to discuss and familiarize the team with emerging AI tools.

Print Production Lead

In this very fast-paced position I was responsible for overseeing all the print production and maintaining digital assets for EvergreenHealth Medical Group. When I began, the Forms Center was little more than a copy room, printing black and white forms in the basement of the hospital. Within the first two years my team and I took over typesetting and design, pre-press, and handled the production of all printed materials for 3 hospital campuses and 23 satellite clinics. I also implemented a structured training program and a centralized database to simplify searching for production information, managing inventory, generating price quotes, and cataloging digital assets.

Graphic Designer

As a freelance graphic designer I have been privileged to work on a variety of projects alongside some truly talented and creative minds. Some standout projects include storyboarding for T-Mobile’s Data Cop and Our 5G Future campaigns and creating logo designs and brand identities for the startups Human Nurture and Next Level Leverage.
