Hi, I’m Chris (@cc). Welcome to my personal home on the internet.
I’m a recent newcomer resident to Los Angeles after spending my 20's in NYC. My childhood was spent both on and off the coast near Boston, which resulted in a deep appreciation of the ocean that has been pervasive through various forms of my life and work.
I have a great love of the outdoors and documenting my adventures. You can find me and my creations around the internet, if you look hard enough.
I like to create, and enjoy applying a fluid and evolving design aesthetic across media. My 7+ years of tenure at GIPHY led to an ardent belief in the seamless loop, which has translated nicely and pervasively into my general design philosophy regardless of medium.

My design process is very fixated, continuous, and friction-filled loop. I’ve redesigned this site a few times, just while developing this latest version. My process involves doing far too much, and then refining away. The best pieces are then saved for future blocks to build with.
I love touching all stages of product–
- Initial concepts and wireframing
- Polishing of visual design and copywriting
- Motion and prototyping
- Continued post-release care
Outside of the home office, I enjoy various creative outlets through tinkering on an array of personal projects in various stages of discompletion. You can follow along with a few of them on the In_Progress page...
