Education
Kris received a Bachelor of Arts, and Bachelor of Science, and a Masters Degree from the University of Texas in Austin. After immersing himself in design, film, art interior design and architecture, Kris focused his masters studies on Convergent Media & Interior Design. Shortly thereafter, Kris honed his skills while creating and producing several projects for ABC, NBC, and New Line Cinema, HGTV where after he founded Future Design Now. Some of the best education has been all of the collaborators and mentors we have been fortunate enough to work with.
