Hi, I'm Chris.
Lead product designer at Faire for 00.0000 days.
I love making things, and software is my medium of choice. I believe building experiences is about knowing where to stay simple and where to invest in the details.
I'm from Nashville, and I moved to San Francisco to join Fragile as the founding designer. I was there from pre-revenue to Series B, from 0 to 50 people. I helped build and shape the product from the ground up, scaled the design team, and grew along the way. I started my design career in 2018 by starting my own practice positioned in the sneaker botting space.
