Christopher comes from a long line of vaudeville performers, cartoonists, sign painters, cloggers, puppeteers, graphic designers, art directors, and circus clowns. After seeing Alien at the age of six, he knew he wanted to work in film.

After college, he moved from Atlanta to Los Angeles with a suitcase and a box full of pencils, determined to make a career drawing storyboards. Christopher spent 11 years as a storyboard artist, working with acclaimed directors including Wong Kar-wai, David Fincher, Sam Raimi, Kasi Lemmons, Ang Lee, Edward Zwick, and Ron Howard. That experience led to art directing visual effects for commercials before transitioning into production design for commercials, feature films, and television.
