For 20+ years, Christian has led design and brand work across startups and Fortune 500s—shipping 0→1 products, scaling systems, and coaching teams. After seeing how AI accelerates real product work without sacrificing craft, he now helps creatives adopt practical, workflow-first AI to deliver results faster.

Christian’s teaching style is plain-English, no-homework, build-in-session.

He brings guest experts in AI-Video and AI-Automation to help you hit the ground running.

• Clear mental models for using AI in Product Design—no jargon.

• Busy-friendly support: optional office hours, recordings, prompt packs, and templates.

Chicago-based and a dad of two, Christian designs this cohort for real life—useful, simple, and immediately applicable.

Creative leader and systems-driven producer with 12+ years of experience developing impactful content across video, animation, and experiential interactive design. I bring a NASA-level strategic mindset to production planning and a therapist-level empathy to managing people.

Whether it’s creating a brand campaign, immersive VR environment, or large-scale event installation, I bring a strategic and tactical approach to production. I thrive at the intersection of narrative and logistics, developing high-volume content systems for streaming companies. I’ve also worked in experiential and xR environments with Disguise xR and Notch technologies, managing large-scale pipelines across many fun and crazy disciplines (3D designers and ice figure skaters for example!)

I own and manage the LA Maker’s Loft, a standing set studio in downtown Los Angeles, where I’ve facilitated productions with top directors and producers from CNN, WETV, Discovery and a range of music video and branded content shoots.
