I'm Christopher, a student with a passion for all things design and technology. My work explores the intersection of the liberal arts and technology. When not working I can be found sailing, running, and skiing.

I began coding when I was eleven and published my first iOS Application when I was twelve. I have subsequently developed several dozen different applications, ranging from productivity to visualization applications. I find this process incredibly rewarding as I love to shape the way we use technology and come up with new solutions to problems.

I enjoy reading non-fiction books on technology, business, architecture, and design. Some of my favorite written works are Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, Talking and Writing by Norman Foster, and Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. My work is most influenced by the work of Jony Ive, Norman Foster, James Dyson, Paula Scher, Dieter Rams, Micheal Bierut, and Paul Rand.
