Bio
Lindsay Connors
Chris is a not-to-miss intellectual asset. When hiring freelance research, it's not always easy to find someone who can see beyond the raw data. Chris to the rescue! He conducted brand research with a keen eye for detail and a practiced sense of context and narrative. As a result, his insights could be immediately dropped into our presentation deck - no editing or reworking required. It allowed our agency to focus on other details of this quick-turn project while not compromising on quality and client satisfaction. Thanks, Chris!

In 2009, Chris served as my professor for two courses on scriptwriting, one an introductory course and the second an advanced course. He provided practical, down-to-earth, and passionate teaching. It helped to strike curiosity in our minds on how to analyze the world and distill those details into a story. In fact, his instruction in the introductory course compelled me to the advanced class as an elective. Even a decade later, our one-on-one discussion on how to provide information about a character through non-verbal means, such as body language, clothing, appearance, etc., made a long-lasting impression on how I perceive people—not only in scriptwriting but also in everyday life.
