Hi there! First off, thank you for perusing my site and I honored to have peaked your curiosity.
I'm Chris Hauk, a Creative Services Director driven by an inherent obsession: crafting visual stories that inspire action. With roots in illustration and a fluency in 3D production and product marketing, I specialize in realizing ideas, drafting atmospheres, and pursuing the art of curiosity.

I find inspiration in the stillness between ideas. Whether I’m sketching out a concept, guiding a team through a complex project, or building a world from nothing but my imagination, I’m most alive when I’m giving form to something that's never existed. During the process of unwelcoming top-of-mind ideas, and avenues that lack impact, I’ve always been drawn to the process of thinking simply, but deeply. Turning thought into vision and vision into reality is, truly, what has always been my passion since I was a young.
With over 4 years of experience serving the world's largest lighting and controls manufacturers, I've learned how to best furnish assets and materials to promote leading industry products, businesses, and ideas. Having worked with over 50 established brands in a fast paced work environment, I'm well versed in adapting quickly to diverse visual styles and brand visions. After having been a core member of Cincinnati's fastest 55 growing businesses, I've seen an agency of 4 grow to 20 and back to 13, and back again. Having experienced the thick and thin of a quickly expanding business, I know how to think like an entrepreneur, act like a veteran, and embrace what's on the horizon.
I enjoy listening to others and engulfing myself in the sounds of the environment around me. Most importantly, though, I enjoy life, laughter, and experience with others through time and struggle. The little moments that I experience consistently refuel my appreciation for this life, and I'm grateful for each day's blessings.
Other than work and being creative, I like dogs (shout out to my brothers Mosley and Wilson) and birds. You can find me on the pitch a few days a week playing the sport I've always loved. I do wedding paintings for friends and I have a few personal projects in the works. Reach out if you want to grab a drink, coffee, or any other beverage of your choosing (boba is really good too).
This digital world is extremely competitive and, not to mention, exhausting. Thank you again for taking the time to look at my work.
