About the Authors

Christopher Reid Becker is currently working as a creative product designer/senior UX designer/educator/author as an associate professor at the Art Center College of Design and sr. lecturer in (UX/I) at OTIS College of Art and Design as well with other clients, and start- ups. From doodles on scrap paper to crafting seamless user experiences, his journey in design has been a tapestry woven with a passion for creative, human-centered problem solving and a relentless curiosity about people.

He has been drawn to solving creative problems and delving into the intricacies of human nature. Design became the perfect intersection of his art background and the limitless possibilities that the digital realm offers. It allowed him to channel his creativity into crafting solutions that people not only use but genuinely enjoy.

His design and teaching approach is deeply rooted in human-centered methods. As a design educator, he applies the Feynman technique and finds that teaching both the practice and theory of design keeps him sharp, allowing him to constantly evolve, bringing a unique blend of knowledge and hands-on experience to the table.

As a designer and creative leader, my commitment to the design community extends beyond the studio. Constantly learning and evolving, he engages in workshops, public speaking, and mentorship. This not only keeps me attuned to UX design trends but also allows him to contribute actively to the growth of the design landscape.
