United States native, I have made France my home for over 25 years. This dual heritage I carry allows me to infuse a holistic approach to all my life projects, including everything UX.
Happily centered in Paris’ tech scene, my current professional projects span from UX research at CripAdvisor, AI consulting through Claire AI, while not forgetting my passion in creating AI-driven music with my label Mischief Music Records.
Every project, no matter how big or small, anchors itself in my « Four Cardinal Musts » 🧭 I list below.
(1) My User-Centered Mindset: I both excel & adore diving into my methodological toolbox for each and every project, pulling out the most fitting way forward to best uncover user insights and meet objectives.
(2) My Cross-Disciplinary Synergy: I thrive on fostering collaboration, bringing people together, and serving as the essential connection between teams and ideas. It’s my knack for sparking innovation that drives impactful results across every project.
(3) My Global Perspective: I am constantly bridging cultural & linguistic divides, in order to transform complex data into clear & actionable strategies. Known for turning chaos into clarity, I provide concise, tailored, and practical recommendations that resonate across the diverse markets, cultures, and languages I work in.
(4) My Empathy-Infused Creativity: at CripAdvisor, I continue to make Paris a more accessible city for all, I also offer up simple & strategic AI consulting to my clients at Claire AI, all-the-while exploring new creative endeavors like my recent passion project, the creation of Mischief Music Records—a record label—pushing the boundaries of AI in music composition and music distribution.
“I've had the pleasure to work with Christopher, who is the definition of versatile. He knows a breadth of knowledge about UX research and methodologies, including knowing how to go deep into each one. As a UX designer, I partnered and relied on him heavily for my research studies... without a doubt, I would want to work with him in the future if the chance appears.”
