Deconstructing media has always been a passion for Chris. Whether it be books, music, theatre, film, or advertising, he has always had a knack for getting to the core of things. Game design is a way for him to put those lifelong skills into action and have some fun along the way. 

Chris has a BA in English & Film Studies from Bishop’s University, where he managed and coordinated several theatre festivals. In summer 2011, he founded the Alchemist development company. Currently, Chris is the creative director and project manager for CoreTechs, as well as the project manager for an experimental social media site Massplay.
