Digital product and branding studio for startups and enterprises
Big Human is a 13-year-old design and product studio operating as a services + IP hybrid—they build digital products for external clients (businesses and nonprofits) while maintaining their own startup portfolio. Their tech stack clusters around creative workflows (Figma, Adobe, Cinema 4D, Unreal) and AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity), with no migrations underway. Hiring is accelerating across design, marketing, and product, skewed toward mid-level and lead roles, suggesting they're scaling delivery capacity and internal strategic functions simultaneously.
Big Human develops custom digital products, brand strategies, and visual experiences for mid-market companies and nonprofits. The studio operates from New York and has maintained a 50-person cap since founding in 2011. Their work spans product definition, art direction, interaction design, and recurring client engagements. Internal pain points cluster around resourcing constraints, timeline management across concurrent projects, and scaling paid-media capabilities—typical friction points for growing services firms moving toward more predictable revenue streams.
Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud (After Effects), 3D tools (Blender, Cinema 4D, Unreal, Unity), Framer, Webflow, AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity), and Asana for project management.
