Hi! I'm Chris Sledge.
For the last 9 years, I've worked for companies big and small, domestically and abroad, and both in-house and in an agency. I'm a tinkerer at heart and love learning by doing. My self-proclaimed superpower is building relationships with people, which enables me and the teams I'm a part of to do their best work.

Values
Transparency
I believe transparent communication is the key to honest relationships and building great products. I live this value by sharing my work early, widely, and often.
Empathy
I am relationship driven, and motivated by empowering and understanding people. Everyone has a story value to add.
Growth
I care about doing my best work and empowering those around me to do the same. This shows up in the form of investing in mentoring others.
Levity
I'm informal, heart-forward, and try not to take life too seriously. This is my way of being my authentic self in and outside of work.
