Christian is a product designer from the Carnegie Mellon University Masters in Human-Computer Interaction (MHCI) program, with a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina A&T State University.

Whether it was a website, an automobile, or a VCR (remember those?), he has always been intrigued by how something so complex could come together to create unimaginable experiences for people.

As a designer, Christian strives to make digital experiences that are visually enticing, user-focused, and accessible through his varied design skillset. He believes that when everyone can enjoy a product, that's when we can truly build community.
