Masterson
👋 Hi! I’m Chris Masterson, a Product Designer living in San Francisco, CA.
I've worked for companies like Slack, Quip, Facebook, Instagram, and Rdio. I also co-founded Tamper, a small studio making apps for iPhone and iPad.
At the moment I’m not looking for new freelance contracts, but don’t let that stop you from getting in touch about cool projects.
