Justin Ahrens

For 25 years, Justin Ahrens has led Rule29, an employee-owned B Corporation® that partners with everyone from startups to Fortune 50s to build purpose-driven brands that matter. As the mind behind Rule29’s Making Creative Matter® philosophy, Justin believes creativity should create real impact. His passion for using design to shape business and culture led to Fast Company naming him a World Changing Ideas leader and an invite to the Obama White House’s SXSL event. A curiosity-fueled storyteller, Justin is the author of Life Kerning, a book about living with intention, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor on branding, business, and AI. He co-hosts Running Ahrens with his amazing wife Sarah—sharing honest conversations about marriage, parenting, business, and life—and also hosts The Design Of podcast—exploring the stories behind what we create and why—and co-hosts the creatively raw and insightful design industry show Creative Shit Show.
