Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Han.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I am a content creator based in Los Angeles. I started using Instagram back in 2011 and rebranded all my social media channels to @chrishanxoxo in 2016 when I was studying MBA in University or Southern California. As a fashion lover, I didn’t start my career in the fashion or media industry. I had a consulting business in Shanghai, China and I sold it in 2015 after receiving my MBA offer. I moved to LA to explore a different side of the world. This is a paradise for creative people. Inspired by the LA community, I decided to produce fashion and lifestyle content professionally on Instagram and other social media platforms. After graduation, I became a full-time content creator. I share content on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Social media has been unleashing so much of my potential in creativity. Now I am connecting with like-minded people from all over the world through social media.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It was never a smooth road. When I started, content creator or influencer was not considered a serious career in the MBA community. I was late in the game. I had almost no experience in media. A lot of my fellow content creators were from the fashion or media industry. It was a natural transition from transitional media to digital for them. But all I knew was how to take photos. And the gig economy and influencer marketing were both emerging. The career path was unclear. People were questioning the sustainability of what I do. It was a pivotal moment of my career. I decided to move forward with my passion. I spent time educating myself and treated Instagramming as a career. Every single follower and every like just gave me the confidence of what I do. So I turned the doubts into a drive.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
As most of my audience may already know, I had my daughter Luna last year. She is one year old now and she enjoys fashion as much as I do. I am slowly expanding my content from a one-woman show to a mommy-and-me channel. Motherhood didn’t stop me but empowered me. I would like to inspire women to live beautiful lives and enjoy motherhood if they have kids.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I am known as a fashion influencer but I am also a fashion photographer. I create editorial fashion images for brands and magazines. I have been collaborating with Leica Camera since 2019 as their global ambassador. Photography is my way of telling stories and exploring aesthetics.
