About me(ow)    
My name is Chris and I am the head Pencil Cat.

I previously spent 5+ years at Spotify, leading a global team of content designers (UX writers). I also served on the Spotify editorial board and co-led a mission of 50+ designers.

Before Spotify, I did a whole bunch of other stuff — writing, management, pumping gas — for a whole bunch of other companies.

I’m from New Jersey and I’m based in Stockholm, Sweden.

You’re still scrolling! Good for you.










Keep it up! I believe in you.










Let’s see if we can make this worth your while.









You did it. You made it. This is it.














Or is it?











Ok, this is really it.









Thanks for being such a diligent scroller. Here’s your reward:

As the cat
climbed over
the top of

the jamcloset—
first the right
forefoot

carefully
then the hind
stepped down

into the round
of the empty
flowerpot.

–William Carlos Williams (1930)
