Hi, I'm Chris Ridgeway

I consult and coach in communications, brand strategy, design-thinking problem solving, and teamwork + leadership for businesses and non-profits with a mission.

I write and comment on: communications, technology, ethics, strategy, & leadership.

I care about justice, urban environments and I’m curious about, well, everyone.

My city is Chicago 🌃and my transportation is a bike. 🚲

Long time ago I was a Microsoft-certified consultant. For lots of years I was a campus minister. I worked as a research assistant for a thoughtful professor and author. I directed communication, branding, and strategy for a national non-profit. I did some early research on how digital culture meets theology & ethics.

Current projects:

  • Advising and directing political campaigns in Chicago

  • Brand + message consulting for organizations with a cause

  • A new course teaching nervous cyclists how to become confident commuters.

  • Producing + co-hosting a podcast called Device & Virtue.

  • Design-sprint facilitation and problem-solving process for teams

  • Writing on digital privacy, culture, tech, ethics

  • Ghost-writing for executive leadership

  • Looking for the best biscuits and gravy in Chicago.

Tips on these? Need my advice? Drop me a note.
