Truly dedicated to his work and very knowledgeable and experianced. He is an amazing teacher. I love learning with him, he has a great personality and is very kind and understanding. 
Our lessons were the highlight of my week, and I always looked forwards to them.
I cannot think of a more passionate and dedicated teacher. 
I am lucky to have met him.

I worked with Chris in the studio last year when he came in to help me with some vocal production. He worked with me on some harmonies on my newest CD “The Music To The Words I Write” Which you can hear on my website. He knew a lot about layering harmonies and which ones worked best with my songs. He was very professional and a great guy to work with. He was not the engineer on this record, but he knew his way around the studio. He comes from a musical family as well. My experience working with Chris was very positive. Can’t think of any flaws he had while working with me. I hope to work with him again in the future. Sincerely, Mike Gacek www.mikegacek.com

Chris is outstanding. He has the ability to bring an early concept to full fruition and he can do it in a short timeframe. After a short consult with Chris during which time he was intentional about asking the right questions, he fully captured the image that I had in mind and brought it to life through the use of color, images, sound, art, and overall creativity and design. He helped me to think about how my intended audience would receive the information that I intended to convey and that led us to create a multi-designed presentation format involving handouts and slide presentations. He is patient and flexible. He is superb! He is fair in his pricing. He is efficient and exceeded my expectations with respect to response time. I have now found my go to person.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will provide firm fixed prices whenever possible and my hourly rate ranges roughly $40-60/hr depending on the service. Please inquire based on your particular engagement.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Listen first. I want to hear what you want to accomplish, and I'll prescribe a direction and services based on that. I will put together a clear project plan for larger projects and always identify checkpoints to ensure that you are always in the loop on any creative direction I take so I don't get to far down a path without confirmation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's degree in marketing with heavy design and psychology coursework. I continuously take courses online through Lynda.com to stay current on trends and tech.
