I'm Chris Adam
I Build UX

I am a visionary strategist and innovation catalyst with over two decades of experience integrating technology, product development, and design thinking to drive transformational growth for organizations.

While my past titles have included Creative Director, Senior Product Designer, and UX Strategist, my true work has always been pioneering under defined futures: taking scattered ideas, latent potential, or early-stage initiatives and crafting them into executable, fundable, scalable systems in particular for faith based initiatives. I specialize in aligning cross-functional teams, integrating cutting-edge technology with mission goals, and fostering long-term cultural and operational change.

Vision & Leadership
‍‍Building Greatness

Innovation is a contagious delight that draws out the deep answers hidden within all of us. I invest in those around me, they are the value.

Process & Validate
‍‍Quantify Decisions

There will always be some form of guesswork in the creative process. Strategic processes minimize that guesswork and validate early.

Design & Deliver
‍‍Creating Beauty

Each client is unique with their own deliverable metrics and systems. Pixel perfect icons or proper color balancing means simplified handoffs.

What Leadership Means To Me

Learn More About My Process

Strategic Design Philosophy

Vision

I don't build products. I architect futures. Every decision is tied to something bigger, human flourishing, gospel-centered innovation, and purposeful disruption.

Formation

Strategy isn't just a plan, it's a process of formation, for people, teams, and ideas. I don't just lead projects, I shape people while shaping outcomes.

Discernment

Where others see noise, I see signal. I'm wired to detect what's missing, what matters, and what must be confronted, even when it's inconvenient.

Covenant

I don’t freelance, I enter covenants. When I take on a mission, I carry it like it’s my own. I'm not here to decorate your vision. I'm here to steward it.

Disruption

I’ve spent 25 years pushing the Church and tech world forward, fighting against lazy copy-paste culture with sacred defiance. Excellence is worship.

Atmosphere

I bring energy, not just ideas. Whether leading a room or restoring a team’s heart, I shift the tone. High standards. No pretense. Deep focus.

WHAT THEY SAY

Ryan Rusnak– AIRSPACE TECHNOLOGIES

Chris is probably the best UX designer I have ever worked with. I regularly gave him vague customer requirements and intentions and he produced beautiful and usable interfaces out of them.

Jonathan Field– Healthways Inc

Working with Chris has been an absolute pleasure - his extreme ability to look at user interfaces and user experience challenges from a fresh perspective and create new ways for users to accomplish things more easily than ever before, is unparalleled in my experience.

Joshua Seigler – DASH Crypto Currency

Decentralized networks have attributes that violate user expectations in significant ways; Chris took the time to understand those differences, and found inventive and original ways to maintain ease of use. He also taught me and other team members a lot about how to think about users and their needs. I found Chris totally receptive to new ideas, but also able to defend his perspective in depth without involving his ego. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would really enjoy a chance to do it again in the future.
