“Chris is the "creme de

la creme" when it comes

to a broad spectrum of

graphics capabilities and

graphics design. He

supported the group directly

for nearly 12 years as part of

our contract to an Air Force

customer in human-centered

research. Chris did everything

from design through the

production of the final product. All

that was necessary was to give him

the concept and the desired outcome

and then get out of his way. He is an

unparalleled expert in complex

graphics for briefings, poster design

and construction, marketing materials,

data presentation, and video

production. When you match his superb

technical skills in multiple graphics

programs with a "let's get it done and

done right" work ethic, you have an

individual you can always count on to

meet customer deadlines with the best

product available. His innovative

approach to problem solving, his

dedication to quality, and his coolness

under pressure made him my "GO TO"

guy for the tough graphics challenges

posed by our customer. Chris handled

the tough problems quickly with ease -

the impossible problems took only a

couple of hours more. Without

reservation, Chris is recommended for

any work where you need innovative

thinking and quality solutions to your

most difficult graphics challenges.”
