Christopher is a partner and a seasoned design lead with over 25 years of experience, specializing in museum, outdoor experiences, and school projects. Drawing from his love of being outdoors, Chris’s connection to nature has influenced his work in schools, museums, outdoor spaces, canopy walks, and nature play spaces.
