I’m CHAD HAGEN,
A Visual thinker that builds brands and tells better stories.

I’m a Minneapolis-based hybrid creative—designer, art director, and visual thinker—with nearly three decades of experience helping brands express themselves with clarity and distinction. I’ve led national campaigns for Target, developed private-label packaging and retail systems, and built out visual identities across print, digital, and environmental touchpoints. While I occasionally bring illustration into the mix, my focus is on shaping brand experiences through smart, crafted design that connects ideas to execution.
