Bio
Carolyn Heick
I had the pleasure of working with Chris during my tenure at eBay. Chris and I partnered on multiple projects within the Identity space. Chris is an exceptional artist, with an eye for fine details that often may be overlooked. This includes not only a pleasing color palette, but placement of calls to action. Chris is an amazing partner and I knew the second we met that our collaborations would be amazing. Always putting the customer first, Chris digs in deep to make sure that he is providing the best experiences possible. Never one to take shortcuts or settle with the status quo, Chris was instrumental in ensuring we launched not only in a timely manor, but really went the extra mile in conducting both online and in person user research when we hit a roadblock to ensure we were offering a product that was pleasing to both novice and expert users. In his personal life, Chris donates his talent and time to causes he cares about and enjoys living life to the fullest. Always ready to tackle the next project with a smile, I would welcome the opportunity to work with Chris again.

Context: I was fortunate enough to work with Chris Myles for and extended period of years on multiple projects across several domains. About Chris: Chris is the complete package. His abilities to see what exist, imagine new possibilities and then bring those possibilities into the world with his diverse skill set are a rare combination. While there are some that are good or even great at a very finite segment - Chris has dedicated himself to working harder on himself than any one position and as a consequence has a mastery of multiple areas. The value of this cannot be overstated. His multidisciplinary approach allows him insights through the entire continuum that are lost on those without this vision. It also places him in the elite company of the great designers, thinkers, makers and 'doers'. Working with Chris: Every day and every interaction with Chris is a pleasure that provides an opportunity to see the inner workings of a great mind in action. I would seize the opportunity to work with Chris Myles anytime the chance was afforded me and recommend him without reservation for anything that he chooses to own. There is truly nothing he can't accomplish as he is willing to work hard on himself to UNTIL he has mastered it.
