About Chris Huban

I’m an impassioned problem solver, dedicated to design that has purpose and impacts people’s lives in positive ways. I believe great design happens when we understand who we design for and how we design for them — an ethos that has enabled me to imagine, design, and build digital products and experiences that help brands foster meaningful relationships with their audiences.Over my career, my contributions have helped create work recognized by D & AD, the Webby Awards, CSS Design, and the FWA. I’ve recently worked with Salesforce, GoFundMe, Google, KOHO, SuperCircle, JetBlue, Instacart, Spotify, and Ralph Lauren.I’ve led Product at Big Spaceship, served as Global Creative Lead at Spotify Advertising (Consultant), and been a Creative Director at Huge.Today, I consult with studios, startups, and creative teams at pivotal moments to shape vision, build narratives, reimagine how design teams operate, and bring ideas to life with intent. Sometimes that means refining a pitch or digital strategy. Other times it’s connecting brand and product thinking, or exploring how AI-first experiences might look, feel, and behave in the real world. I care deeply about creativity, mentorship, and long-term impact. I’m also exploring new studio models, ethical uses of AI, and more thoughtful ways of working.I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations.
