[About Chris] Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Chris relocated to Florida pursuing a career as a graphic designer. He quickly realized that his greatest impact to the graphic design industry could be made in the classroom. Chris recently migrated from Florida to the Inland Empire to continue fulfilling his purpose as an educator, passing on the vast design knowledge he gained working with youth groups, non-profit organizations and Fortune 500 companies. Chris received his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University (@vcualumni) and an MA and MFA from Savannah College of Art and Design (@scaddotedu). He finds absolute joy in helping students navigate through their creative journey. His personal mantra: Mentor. Mold. Motivate. Chris currently serves as Assistant Professor of Graphic Design and Visual Experience at California Baptist University (@calbaptist). Yearning to get involved in the creative community, Chris joined the AIGA OC, started the CBU student group (@aiga.cbu) and now serves as our Director of Education. See more
