Testimonials

Jan-Maurice Thonemann

Game designer at FPV Labs

We worked on FPV Labs Drone Simulator together.

"Working with Chris was a lot of fun. He worked in a very structured and professional way, handled feedback and change requests really well, and came up with some clever technical solutions throughout the project."

Seth Fish

Producer at I've Had It Podcast

I composed and produced new outro music for IHIP News.

"Chris is fast, communicative, talented, and always professional. I gave him very little to work with and he still knocked it out of the park."

Rachel Bandy

Singer and multi-instrumentalist for Monte

We worked on the album Fledgling together.

"Chris was amazing to work with! He was extremely knowledgeable and flexible when helping us record. He was open to feedback, but also worked independently and creatively to add depth and interest to our music."
