Kristen Haws

Kristen leads creative at CoLabs with a steady hand and a sharp eye, shaping brands, campaigns, and digital experiences that are cohesive, strategic, and grounded in real business objectives.

An award-winning creative with a background in branding, UX, and marketing, she connects vision to execution with clarity and precision. Her philosophy is simple: beautiful design is only powerful if it works. Aesthetic without intention is decoration. The best work aligns beauty and function.

Kristen blends creative instinct with structured thinking. She sees the big picture and the smallest details, asking sharper questions and simplifying what feels complex. She cares deeply about clarity, alignment, and doing the work the right way the first time.

Outside of CoLabs, creativity doesn’t turn off. You’ll find her painting, cooking, tending her garden, crafting, or catching live music whenever she can. Curiosity and craft are not separate from her work; they inform it.
