• Chris Golaszewski

  Creative Cohesion

  Chris, a longtime student of graphic design, studied Commercial Art in the late ’80s before earning a BFA in Communication Design. With interest in business and an aptitude for technology he’s constantly trying to learn more about how things work and how to make things work more efficiently. He’s a strong proponent of hierarchical visual messaging, grids, and pixel perfection — where it matters. Usability as well as manageable design and development assets trump bells-and-whistles. He urges simplicity in design, quality production and craftsmanship — in both what can and can’t be seen — as well as preparing just enough (not too much) before execution. His broad interests and analytical attention to detail have led him along a professional path experiencing life as a medical animator, print designer, Web designer, client-side developer, webmaster, application support specialist, part-owner of a small business and more. Cheers to more experience!
