Bio
Brandon Schwartz
Chris is a passionate, driven, and focused designer with a strong connection to the end results of a product and a strong visual eye. Chris jumped straight into business and consumer research to ensure he took a strategic approach in supporting our platform. He focuses on outcomes over output and takes a balanced approach to the needs of the business and customer. Chris's passion for his work elevates everyone around him, and his educational and logical approach with business partners and executive stakeholders sets him apart in the product design industry.
Sam Clark
Chris is a dedicated, curious individual passionate about solving problems in a human-centered way. Wonderfully collaborative and thoughtful, Chris would truly be a welcome addition to any team. I especially appreciated the eye toward human psychology he brought to his work, crafting solutions that felt relevant and deeply informed by the users he interviewed. Additionally, Chris's understanding of 'brand' and the less cut-and-dry and more emotional side of UX/UI offers a wonderful, and increasingly needed layer, to a strong foundation in UX best practices and principles.
