the thing about us

YOU'RE NOT BORING. NEITHER ARE WE.
LET'S MAKE SOMETHING BADASS.

erin

sam

harper

Erin is the idea wrangler.

She leads creative direction, brand strategy, and design — with a nerdy obsession with what makes people decide to spend their money and a zero-tolerance policy for brands that blend in.

Bold by instinct. Strategic by training. Offbeat blazers by compulsion.

Sam is the one who asks the question that changes everything.

A powerhouse business mind with sharp instincts and a gift for getting to the point, she's the thought partner, the sounding board, and the reason the strategy holds.

Quick wit. Strong opinions. Excellent taste in desk accessories.

HARPER TACO HOOVER IGLESIAS

Harper is the Director of Barketing with an elite talent for napping and a side-eye that could win awards.

A snack-motivated creative muse with a suspicious hatred of cardboard, she brings unwavering judgment and excellent snores to every project.

your brand should make people a little jealous.

we're here for that.

We started OXSAM because we got tired of watching good businesses disappear into beige.

Tired of good design being locked behind seven-figure budgets.
Tired of brands built for approval instead of conviction.

We believe:
Boring is a business liability.
Taste is a form of strategy.
Creativity without conscience is just decoration.
Brands who are for everyone are for no one.
Staying silent about the world is a cowardly brand position.

We build for the renegades. Come as you are. Leave with something that bites.

the brief

We are business mavens with decades of real-world experience and a nerdy love of studying what the fuck makes people decide to buy things.

WE'RE NOT
just designers

can't i just use canva for free?

Of course you can. And you should - if you just need a logo. But branding? That's an ecosystem.

If your brand isn't making people feel something - if it doesn't stand out in a sea of sameness - IT'S WORKING AGAINST YOU, NOT FOR YOU.

branding isn't optional.

It's how people remember you, choose you, and trust you.

Some businesses need deep strategy, other just need to look like they belong in the big leagues. We've got solutions for both and everywhere in between.

you know your business.

we know how to make it unforgettable.
