Chris Reiff is an illustrator and product designer with more than 20 years experience working on official Star Wars projects. Some of his clients include Lucasfilm, Walt Disney Imagineering, Hasbro, ANOVOS, ILM, Random House, Dorling Kindersley, becker&mayer!, Haynes Publishing, and more.

His illustration work can be seen in numerous Star Wars books and on high end packaging. Chris Reiff and fellow artist Chris Trevas are the illustration team behind the Star Wars Haynes manuals, some of Hasbro's Titanium and Black Series packaging schematics, Star Wars Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling, the Star Wars Blueprints series from DK, and the detailed instructions for the Anovos product line.

Reiff co-founded The Parts of Star Wars website with Chris Trevas and is a passionate replica prop builder. In 2011 he built a replica R2-D2, redefining the accuracy of the R2-D2 Builders Club specs in the process.

Chris lives and works in Cincinnati and spends his free time adventuring in his airplane, a 1946 Globe Swift.
