Hello, I’m Chris.

This website is a digital archive of some of the work I did and projects I led over the course of a 40-year career revolving around communication: 15 years as a journalist and editor, and 25 years in design: graphic, web, and UX.

My last full-time role was as Senior User Experience Designer at PBS, where I was the UX lead for the PBS Kids for Parents and PBS LearningMedia websites.

Now retired from full-time work, I am exploring life’s “Third Stage,” making, writing, volunteering, and playing pickleball (it’s a requirement for seniors, LOL).

My previous full-time roles included:

  • Senior UX Designer, PBS
  • Senior UX Designer, SpeakAgent Inc.
  • Senior Web Designer, Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media
  • Designer, then Art Director, Crabtree + Company
  • Designer, Meadows Design Office

Editorial
