Hey, I'm Chris! 👋

I'm the creator of Build Great Products, and founder of Telescope design studio and subscription. I'm an ex-lead and founding designer, and have worked with over 50 high growth startups to help them design and build amazing products.

I started Build Great Products so I could put all my knowledge in one place, and share that knowledge with as many founders, startups, builders and designers as possible.

Every week, I write a newsletter exploring the next generation of great digital products filled with product advice, design tips, proven insight and anything else interesting in the world of product.

I also build my own digital products, and document the journey across my social channels on YouTube, LinkedIn and X.
