Chris Meyer
Chris Meyer of Crish Design has been involved in both the music industry as a musician, sound designer, recording engineer, and designer of electronic instruments and recording devices; as well as the motion graphics industry where he and his wife Trish create animations for broadcast, film, special venues, trade shows, and web sites. However, before both, he had an interest in photography - an interest he continues to nurture today through the use of photographs as the starting point in mixed media art, often employing experimental printing techniques.
