About

My name is Chris McGuire. I am currently, at the time of writing this, 27 years old and currently living in Vancouver, BC. I grew up in various places throughout Scotland but decided to pack up and move for some new experiences. I am passionate about technology, communication and design. I spend most of my time reading blogs and papers about the latest & greatest gadgets, apps, web start ups and trends.

People ask me what I do and this is the best answer I come up with other than “everything”. I’m the social media guy, the tech guy, the web guy, the mobile guy, the client facing guy and in some cases the video guy.

(Lifted from my LinkedIn profile here)

What I do

My skills that allow me do that:-

Video work – Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Lightwave 3D and After Effects.
Strategy - My brain…mostly. Research and problem solving play a huge role in developing ideas using emerging technologies.

What People Say About Me

“Chris played an integral part in deploying, creating and managing their clients mobile campaigns. His ability to grasp the technology and build out complex mobile sites for several of their clients was second to none.

“Chris is one of the sharpest people I know. His grasp of tech applications has been invaluable to us here at Braun/Allison, and his input has been instrumental in the evolution of this company. But even more rare is his personable, down-to-earth way of working with these technologies – crucial in the marketing context. I sincerely think this combination of factors will make him a professional to watch in the years to come.”
