Christopher Ireland

I had the incredible honor of co-teaching Business of Design and Design Research with Christopher at CCA. While I had the title of lecturer, I was learning just as much from Christopher as our class of 40+ students in the MDes program. Every time I start to prepare for a new class, I think how would Christopher imbue this course with empathy, wisdom, strategic thinking and humor -- her trademark traits. I love you and miss you.

Davis - Oh, reading of Christopher's death has left me in tears... sadness and joy, wonderful memories of you both and the times and marketing adventures we enjoyed. Those are among the highlights of my life which I have thought about often.

I loved you guys then and I love you now. You are both forever in my thoughts and in my heart. If there is anything I can do to be of support to you, please let me know.

Dear Davis,

I was heartbroken to hear about Christopher. While we didn´t know each other well, I had the privilege of sitting down with her a few times through our mutual connection with Darrel at Cheskin. I always found her to be deeply present, insightful, and full of grace-her thoughts always added something meaningful to whatever we were discussing.

I´m so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the depth of your grief, and I know that words can barely touch it. Please know I´m holding you in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Love
David

What a luminous presence Christopher always was! The world is a poorer and darker place without her delightful spirit.
