New Paradigm Design Workshop is not exactly art, craft, design or architecture. It's a place, a state of mind and a singularly process-oriented pursuit of better material culture:  more equitable,  more sustainable, more thoughtfully engaged, more FUN!

Chris Miller is the founder of New Paradigm Design Workshop, a practice informed by his research, conscience, and persistent need to design and build lots of different things all at once. His work includes residences, furniture, public art and interactive exhibits, as well as technical illustration, graphics and web design for businesses that also build things. He holds a Master of Arts in Architecture from MIT, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Art Institute of Chicago and an Associate's degree from Central Lakes Community College.
