Bio
Jean Giesmann
I worked with Chris for several years at Plow & Hearth. He held several different positions while at the company but truly showed his colors when he took on Traffic Management in the creative department. He took on the giant task of process improvement. I was impressed with his methodical thinking, perseverence and dedication.
Holly Lanigan
Chris was my colleague in the Creative Department at Plow and Hearth and my manager when I freelanced as a proofreader at Core Knowledge. Working with Chris has always been a great experience — in large part because he’s such a natural go-to person. He’s got all the answers and he’s always willing to help. You can count on Chris. He has a genius for making things work — schedules, systems, deadlines, computers — and a gift for finding the best path to the end of the tunnel. He’s endlessly patient with people and puzzles. He’s also a talented graphic designer and an award-winning writer: he knows the creative process inside and out, yet still smiles in the face of its challenges(!). I’d definitely enjoy working with Chris again.
