Design Philosophy
Design is a business function — every decision must be defensible in business terms. Christopher measures his work in retention, conversion, and revenue, not pixels or deliverables. He builds systems before screens: design systems, critique culture, and research processes that compound over time. His leadership philosophy centers on developing designers who graduate from needing approval to making the call themselves.
