About Kris

Hi! I’m Kris Christian, a creative visionary, entrepreneur, and storyteller with a deep passion for good coffee, close community, and genuine connection. As the founder of Chicago French Press, I’ve combined my love for creativity and purpose to build a national coffee brand that empowers women and underserved communities through ethical sourcing and impactful initiatives. My journey has been fueled by optimism, bold ideas, and the unwavering belief that meaningful work can spark change.

​

I thrive on connection and collaboration, embracing the beauty of diverse interests and experiences to inspire innovation. Whether designing products, curating experiences, or building partnerships, my mission is to create spaces where ideas flow freely, laughter is contagious, and people feel empowered to take action. With a gift for storytelling and a knack for turning visions into fruition, I love rallying others around a shared purpose and making ideas come to life.​​
