About
I spend my days chasing ideas.
Some become products.
Some become companies.
Some become stories worth telling.
I'm Christopher Gerardino, CEO of Ristretto and Head of Design at CYC Technology and Bonnell.
My work lives somewhere between design, mobility, technology, and entrepreneurship.
Most weeks you'll find me moving between Austin, Hong Kong, and China, building products, walking factory floors, meeting with teams, and figuring out how to turn impossible ideas into real things.
Gerardino Atelier is my personal space. A place for the work behind the work. The sketches, thoughts, projects, failures, lessons, and occasional successes that make the journey worthwhile.
