The 2018 Snackable Content Awards ‘Best Creator of the Year’ winner is a Los Angeles USA-based creator duo of Kyle Huber (@asenseofhuber) and Tommy Lundberg (@TommyLundberg).

Kyle says: “My passion began with drawing and painting, but evolved into the digital world when I attended the Kansas City Art Institute and became a graphic designer. After relocating to Los Angeles in 2010, I fell instantly in love with California as my design career took off and my skillsets expanded. It was then that I discovered my interest in photography, thanks to the iPhone and the launch of Instagram. With a newfound addiction to travel, I created a lifestyle full of adventure while becoming a professional photographer and brand advertiser. Tommy Lundberg is the brain and the camera behind some of my favorite hyperlapse creations. We work as a team on most of my campaigns, bouncing ideas back and forth to create a stronger solution together. Thank you for this feeling of accomplishment! I’m proud to be recognized for the efforts I have put into my artwork over the last several years as an influencer. Instagram changed my life and allowed me to find a perfect path for my talents.”
