Chris is unlike anyone else practicing in the "programming and activation” space. He leverages wildly diverse experiences which make him the ultimate programming and activation guru.

His work with the design team informs both the physical and emotional aspects of the space, and his creative vision and passion for uniting communities in the public realm inspires us all.
