Design Remixed: Big Spaceship September 17, 2008

An innovation-led digital creative agency, Big Spaceship partners with brands to create deeply engaging experiences, products and relationships. Telling stories and starting conversations across the digital landscape, the company has garnered many accolades for its work, including One Show, Clio, Webby and Cannes Lion awards. Big Spaceship holds more FWAs than any other firm and was the first American agency inducted into the FWA’s Hall of Fame.

Michael Lebowitz founded Big Spaceship in 2000 and serves as its CEO. A founding board member of SoDA, the Society of Digital Agencies, Michael is also a member of AIGA’s Visionary Design Council and the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences. He is a frequent juror for creative awards and has lectured and led seminars internationally on creativity, emerging trends and the role of entertainment in digital engagement.

Shortly after retiring from rock-stardom, Joshua Hirsch became the Minister of Technology at Big Spaceship in 2002, where he leads the development team responsible for building numerous award-winning interactive campaigns for entertainment and consumer brand clients. Prior to joining Big Spaceship, Josh honed his skills as a designer and developer at Guggenheim.com and Asymptote. Josh has shared his expertise around the world by speaking at industry conferences, presenting instructional workshops, and acting as an awards juror.
