CHRIS GRILL, IDSA graduated as Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture and Urban Studies’ Outstanding Senior.  Having started his education as an Audio Engineering student, Chris credits his musical background with helping him first develop an understanding of creative process.  Not only has music served as an early inspiration for Chris, he believes that good design, like music, has the ability to resonate with people emotionally.  With each new project Chris enjoys the challenge of creating objects and spaces with this personal connection and making design a meaningful part of everyday life.
