Chris is a husband, and father to four "spirited" children who teaches at Auburn University (AL, USA).

Educated as an Industrial Designer with a graduate degree in Community Planning, his first real job was in architecture where he busily designed away six years before punching the eject button. After founding Design Foresight (a design/research consultancy working with select clients) Chris returned to his alma mater where he is now an Associate Professor with the School of Industrial and Graphic Design.

Of late he has been exploring the intersections of industrial, service, and interaction design, and their ability to transform the status-quo through interventions in the systems at play.
