DESIGN SERVICES BY KRIS SWICK
Kris is a versatile freelance designer based in Los Angeles. He believes design should be, above all, driven by the needs and desires of the user.
“I am a ‘Client’s Designer,’ meaning that I prioritize your budget and stylistic preferences! Let me help you make YOUR dreams come true!”
Kris studied architecture and art at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), where he explored advanced manufacturing and computational technologies in design. He earned his Master of Architecture from UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design in 2021, using participatory design videogame technology to engender pluralist multifamily housing development in Los Angeles.
He has worked as an architectural designer at Stephen Phillips Architects, Kovac Design Studio, Byben, M.AD.A.spam (in both China and LA), and GEI Development. He has a wide range of design experience, and has produced arts programming in various venues and forms.
He is the Director of the Collective Arts Incubator, a platform for creative small businesses, and curator of the KSwick_Collection of design goods from all over the world.
