👋 Hey, I’m Chris —

I currently serve as a Senior UX Designer at SEP, a product design and development consultancy in Indianapolis. In my 3.5 years here, I’ve played a key role in shaping our UX practice’s talent acquisition process and provided guidance for design systems and design tokens for our teams.

On the client front, I’ve partnered with companies in various industries such as IoT, water treatment, defense, and pharmaceuticals. I’ve led design, research, and testing initiatives for next-generation products in the pre-market phase.

Before joining SEP, I worked at and later purchased a specialty marketing agency. For nearly 4 years, I served as Partner and Creative Director, leading initiatives for top U.S. and Canadian accounting firms.

Beyond my UX role, I’ve successfully operated a freelance photography business for over a decade, collaborating with companies such as Lessonly, the Indiana Trial Lawyer’s Association, and the global tech company associated with the iconic 48-floor building on Monument Circle. I enjoy actively participating in the local design community through volunteering with IxDA Indy and, from 2020-2022, Indy Design Week’s marketing committee.
