<b style='color:#fff; padding: 0 20px 20px 0;'>Chris Frison</b> Senior Project Designer<p style='padding: 20px 0 0 5px; line-height:20px; width:700px;'>Although Chris has designed and managed a number of Environmental Graphic Design projects, due to his professional background in the Museum industry, as well as his Bachelor of Industrial Design from Kansas University, Chris’s passion is in Exhibit Design. Chris can take complicated stories, such as the role of the Federal Reserve or the complete history of the Pacific Theater in World War II, and present them in an exciting, immersive environment. By successfully combining static text with exhibitry components and special effects, Chris is able to form a bond between the user and the story. He transforms written text and images into a three-dimensional, interactive, and educational interpretative environment. With his background, Chris is able to balance interactive technology, special effects, artifacts and story with the client's concerns of budget, schedule and an on-going commitment to preserving and enhancing the visitor experience. Maybe because he is a triathlon enthusiast, Chris always hits the ground running.</p>
