Hello! My name is Chris and I'm an engineer and a photographer / contributor for Apartment Therapy. In high school my artistic side took a back seat as I pursued a career in math and science. Blogging, however, gives me the chance to bring that creative side front and center again. I'm a native Texan, living in Austin, and love all the things you'll find in a modern metropolis - technology, design, food, and the arts. I hope those interests come together here in pieces you enjoy reading. Thanks for stopping by.
