Big Spaceship Announces Chris Fahey Hire

Big Spaceship, the Brooklyn-based digital creative agency, today announced the hire of Chris Fahey as Vice President of Product and User Experience, reporting to CEO Michael Lebowitz. Effective immediately, Fahey is tasked with overseeing all product innovation within the agency across both client work and internal agency projects. 
 
"The past few years have represented a significant evolution for Big Spaceship, as we've seen half of our business evolve into product and service strategy and design work," said Lebowitz. "Chris brings nearly two decades of experience designing digital products and was a natural choice to help lead our crew through this next stage of growth." 
 
Big Spaceship's history building products has been a 10 year evolution, with some of the agency's most well-known work including Google's "What do you love?," OneHP and Urban Daddy "The Next Move." 

Fahey joins Big Spaceship from ZocDoc, where he led the UX team at the New York startup focused on revolutionizing patient access to healthcare. Previously, Fahey spent eleven years at Behavior Design, a consultancy he co-founded and worked as a managing partner, acting as project leader, strategist and interaction design practice lead on clients including The Gilt Groupe, HBO, New York Times, Businessweek, The National Geographic Channel and the Smithsonian Institution.

Fahey holds a BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and has taught at the School of Visual Arts' Interaction Design MFA program.

"Today people expect not only compelling user experiences, but truly useful and innovative products," Fahey said. "Great digital products and great digital brands are intrinsically interwoven, and Big Spaceship is uniquely positioned to help businesses design, develop and deploy products and services that engage, connect, and empower people in exciting new ways."
