About Me

Christopher specializes in game design, education, and music, with a focus on technical audio and adaptive soundtracks. At GameU, he can seamlessly integrate these fields, using each to inform the other and create a well-rounded, holistic, and unique experience for his students. This same philosophy, naturally, extends to his game projects, where he works both independently and with teams to create an interesting and haptically engaging experience for every player – where even the smallest sound contributes to the story. In his spare time, Christopher enjoys playing (and composing!) music.
