About Chris
Architect, Real Estate Entrepreneur, & Design Executive
Where Experience Meets Innovation
With over 15 years at the intersection of architecture, real estate development, and strategic design, I've built my career on transforming spaces and reimagining possibilities. As a licensed architect and former Senior Vice President leading design strategy for a 40-million-square-foot real estate portfolio, I've developed a unique perspective on how thoughtful design can drive business value.
My journey has taken me from designing award-winning residential developments to directing complex mixed-use projects worth billions across North America. Along the way, I've learned that the most impactful solutions come from challenging conventions and reimagining what's possible.
Beyond the Blueprint
Today, I'm channeling my expertise into ventures that address critical gaps in how we approach real estate:
PROOF emerged from witnessing firsthand how traditional development processes often waste time, capital, and opportunity. By helping real estate owners and developers work smarter and faster while reducing capital risk, we're creating a more efficient path from concept to completion.
MONOLITH AI represents my commitment to elevating American housing standards. Drawing on years of designing buildings of all scales and types, this venture focuses on integrating technology and building science to set a new standard for resilient, intelligent, and efficient living environments that stand the test of time.
ON DEMAND ARCHITECT was born from recognizing that many clients need architectural expertise but not always in the traditional format. This flexible, on-demand model provides quality design services tailored to how people actually work today.
My Approach
Whether leading a billion-dollar portfolio, advising a startup developer, or working with independent clients, I bring the same principles to every project:
Strategic Vision — Seeing beyond immediate challenges to future opportunities
Design Intelligence — Using design as a tool to solve complex problems
Cross-Disciplinary Thinking — Bridging the gaps between design, business, and technology
Sustainable Innovation — Creating solutions that deliver lasting value
Let's Connect
I'm always interested in connecting with forward-thinking individuals and organizations. Whether you're looking to collaborate, explore ideas, or simply have a conversation about the future of real estate and design, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
