About Chris Fillebrown

Chris Fillebrown is a technologist from Dallas, Texas. Chris started Frame of Reference based on an idea for a general methodology to solve specific industrial problems. Chris studied microbiology and chemistry as an undergraduate to prepare for medical school. However, during an industrial microbiology seminar, Chris decided to pursue his interest in solving industrial problems.

Nearing the end of college, and without any specific industrial arts coursework, Chris needed to identify his industrial niche. After working with the scientific method through his undergraduate studies, Chris was fascinated that one methodology, the scientific method, worked to solve problems in all of the specific areas of scientific discipline. Chris set out to define a methodology for industry that worked the way the scientific method worked for specific scientific disciplines. Frame of Reference was the fruit of that effort. Realizing that he had focused on the physical sciences, Chris understood that to live up to its functional definition, he would have to get out of the labs and learn more about the mechanisms of society. Chris changed his decision about graduate studies from medicine to law.

During his professional career, Chris has used the Frame of Reference methodology to successfully solve problems in

• Law
• Entertainment
• Information technologies
• Telecommunications
• Manufacturing

By carefully selecting projects that challenged the Frame of Reference methodology, after nearly thirty years of systematic innovation, Frame of Reference has become a mature industrial art.
