Christopher Norton

Hello!

I'm a Product UX designer, graphic and visual designer, color science nerd, environmental portrait photographer, movie buff, and table-top game enthusiast. I've built a lot of big things that made people a lot of money, won some awards, and have helped solve problems that sat unsolved for decades. As a portrait photographer I've led complex teams like models, pyrotechnics and animal handlers on locations in old castles and abandoned military bases not even open to the public. Some pretty wild stuff!

Experience

For the past 10+ years I've specialized in designing ongoing, complex but intuitive enterprise-scale mobile and responsive web applications used by millions of users and generating billions of dollars in sales. I can't show a lot of that secret sauce stuff that gives businesses their competitive edge but I have used the same design processes on a wide range of other projects including: enterprise-level web and mobile apps, kiosk applications, Photoshop plugins, browser extensions, landing pages, motion graphics, infographics, and more.
