Learn2Scribe Workshop

Christopher is a Los Angeles-based Graphic Facilitator with over 27 years of professional experience.

In 1992, after receiving a degree in Visual Art from Rutgers College, Christopher volunteered to help "scribe" a community-wide "DesignShop" in Orlando, Florida facilitated by MG Taylor Corporation, an innovative and influential consulting company.

That initial meeting led to him becoming a member of the core MG Taylor staff, which helped to bring their unique brand of collaborative strategy and design workshops to large consulting firms all over the world through their partnership with Ernst & Young LLP and later, CapGemini Consulting's Accelerated Solutions Environment process.

After leaving MG Taylor, he founded his company, Griot's Eye Inc. (griotseye.com) in 1998 with a mission to use the power of graphics and rapid visualization to assist organizations in telling their stories.

Christopher has since provided graphic facilitation services at strategy meetings across 5 continents for companies such as Google, The Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, Stanford Health, Disney, Audi Motors (Berlin, Germany), UniCredit Bank (Turin, Italy), and NPR.
