What others have to say

  • Cliff Drane

    Vice President, Digital Products & Design @ MasterBrand Cabinets

    "We were so lucky to have Chris on the Marketing team at Aduro. Chris is an excellent designer, equally at home in digital and print – social posts, display ads, web layout, e-books, newsletters, booklets... even trade show signage. He's a great collaborator with copywriters and other designers, too. On top of his design and illustration skills, Chris is a great person, he works hard, and brings a sense of humor and curiosity to the job at hand. Every team needs a Chris, or 5."

  • Eduardo Gil de Montes

    Designer. Developer. Marketer. Geek.

    "Chris is an amazing designer and an all-around wonderful human. I had the pleasure of working closely with him on several projects over his two years at Aduro, from ad creatives and event materials to completely redesigning the website. Chris's design, organization, and communication skills always made for a pleasant and productive collaboration, and he always brought a thoughtful perspective to the conversation. I always appreciated his ongoing desire to grow and expand his knowledge and skillset."

    "Chris is a graphic designer who not only can bring your creative ideas to life visually but also understands the importance of project management, deadlines, and organization. Each project we worked on together Chris was great at communicating suggestions, limitations, and appropriate work flow to get our design needs met on strict deadlines."
