Welcome! I'm Chris: an English nerd, improviser/sketch comedy performer, and young professional with 10+ years of experience in creating and designing optimized content in fast-paced, technology-driven environments.
Most recently, I've served as the first-ever Senior UX Content Strategist in the Slalom Chicago market. Slalom is a purpose-led, global business and technology consulting company.
A couple of my Slalom highlights included:

(2.) Worked with key internal Slalom UX teammates and SVP of marketing for major professional sports organization to brand and name their 12 UX research-based customer segments.
(3.) Led content strategy arm of engagement with a major pharmaceutical company, helping them develop and implement a full brand identity for a groundbreaking new product and leading UX work for their back-end interface.
(4.) Held internal workshops for colleagues on how to effectively message and tell stories to various audiences. Worked with senior leadership to present content.
Prior to Slalom, I served as Great Wolf Resort's Senior Copywriter, leading the charge on bringing their mission of bringing joy to families to life through family-friendly, joyful content.

—Possessed final approval on all internal and external pieces of content & developed the company's Brand Guidelines.
I also love to write in my personal life! In May 2021, I had my debut book SEEKING ADVERSITY published by New Degree Press.

My passion lies in the process of creating and telling stories to bring joy and satisfaction to others, and above all, doing so with people who share that passion.
I cannot wait to hear how we can make that happen together.
