đź‘‹ Hi, I’m Chris.
I help talented people stop being their industry’s best-kept secret.
As a creative strategist, brand advisor, and coach, I specialize in helping entrepreneurs, artists, creators, and businesses transform how they talk about their work – moving from scattered and invisible to clear and magnetic through my programs, coaching, and insights.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You’re talented at what you do. You’ve built the skills, put in the work, and have something valuable to offer. But when it comes to explaining what makes your work different? That’s where things get fuzzy. Your message feels scattered, your positioning unclear, and despite your expertise, you remain your industry’s best-kept secret.
You’re not alone. I’ve seen this struggle everywhere — from artists and creators seeking to find real traction to established executives looking to clarify their next chapter.
Here’s What I’ve Learned
Over two decades running a design and marketing agency, publishing Fabrik Magazine, directing galleries, and working with everyone from A-list actors and musicians like Val Kilmer, Scott Caan and Andy Summers (The Police) to global brands like Amgen and UCLA, I’ve witnessed firsthand what separates those who thrive from those who remain overlooked.
The most common mistake? Thinking it’s a talent problem when it’s actually a clarity problem. Most people struggling to be seen aren’t lacking in talent—they’re lacking in clarity.
My Approach
Drawing from my years bridging creative expression and strategic clarity, I believe that authenticity, not perfection, is what makes people memorable. My work focuses on alignment rather than reinvention, helping people express who they already are with confidence and consistency.
Through my signature KNOWN Framework™, I guide clients through the journey from understanding their unique value to building a platform that reflects who they’ve become. When you have clarity about who you are and who you serve, everything becomes easier—you stop being interchangeable and start being irreplaceable to the right people.
Whether through my programs, one-on-one coaching, or insights, my mission remains the same: to help remarkable people become unmissable to the right audience.
What I’ve Built
Over the years, I’ve built and launched projects that span creative strategy, digital innovation, and community building for artists and entrepreneurs.
