An award-winning Web designer who has been working with the Web since 1993, Christopher interned for both David Siegel and Lynda Weinman in the mid 90s while he was an undergraduate at Florida State University working on a Fine Arts degree with an emphasis on Graphic Design. Afterwards, he earned a Masters in Communication for Interactive and New Communication Technologies while obtaining a graduate certificate in Project Management from FSU's College of Communication.

In 2000, Christopher led a team to victory in the Cool Site in a Day competition, where he and five other talented developers built a fully functional, well-designed Web site for a nonprofit organization in eight hours. He is the author of CSS Cookbook, which was named Best Web Design Book of 2006, and one of the first books that looked at CSS-enabled designs, Designing CSS Web Pages.

"I definitely learned to do things I never thought I would. The class was hard, but the instructor's methods are right on. We are given all the information we need to accomplish tasks, expect we then need to take that information and use our logic to put it together. This class makes you think. I liked it a lot and definitely learned. Critiques were very fair and honest, and I always agreed with his suggestions."

"The course covered critical Photoshop skills that I had hoped to master. I believe the course brought me to a much higher level of Photoshop expertise. Excellent course! Matt is without question a top notch instructor (and I've had some excellent instructors at Sessions). He provides thorough and useful feedback. In fact, he took the time to make revisions to one of my exercises to illustrate a technique - which was very useful to me. I also like that Matt has high standards for class exercises; there are no automatic 100's in his course."
