What Students Say

“I enjoyed class with Chris because it was different. It wasn’t about questions and answers, it was about questions and more questions which sparked ideas.”

—Dani Dayton

“Occasionally in life, there are people who shock you by providing a basic need you didn’t realize you lacked. From Chris, it was a disturbingly unshakeable belief that I was capable of succeeding.”

—Soleil Paz

“Chris’ knowledge and great enthusiasm for design, combined with a bottomless well of positivity, made for an educational environment that transcended the subject to become about learning as a whole.”

—Rob Hendricks

“The quality of Chris’ curriculum coupled with his thoughtful and thorough approach helped me and my peers better understand complex design concepts. His wit and patience enabled students to comfortably and independently develop unique design solutions.”

— Josh Terry
