Hi, I'm Chris Wallace

With two decades of experience in product strategy, creative direction, and user experience, I have had the privilege of working with renowned brands such as MLB, DC Comics, Facebook, Microsoft, Starbucks, and The Nobel Prize.


In my role as an agency executive, I led a team of over 20 designers and directors, collaborating with global clients to create award-winning apps and websites. This journey included designing Emmy Award-nominated second screen apps for iconic series like The Walking Dead, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad.

At Candy Digital, I spearheaded product design efforts, leading a redesign of the collectibles marketplace and various features. I developed a cohesive design system and crafted app prototypes, including an interactive comic book e-reader.

I'm great at hiring and mentoring designers, enhancing creative skills, expanding organizational capabilities, and driving impactful improvements in the projects I oversee. I am passionate about the synergy between brand and user experience and thrive on bringing innovative ideas to fruition.

Want to work together? Let's talk.
