Founded by Ruby Montoya, the agency exists because small businesses deserve the same thoughtful, strategic, personality-fueled creative work as the corporations with the big budgets. Maybe more.

Building something from scratch is hard enough — every small business has a story worth telling, and you deserve someone in your corner to tell it right.

Ruby came up in film production and screenwriting, where the only thing that matters is whether the story lands. That same instinct carried into brand and design work, where over the years she's built campaign systems, designed retail packaging from dieline to shelf, written copy for coffee sleeves and cookie boxes, and created original illustration that's lived on walls, windows, and in venues across the Seattle area.

When Ruby isn't deep in a brand world, you'll find her drawing, collaging, messing around with clay, or taking walks in the Pacific Northwest with her dog and husband. She's a sucker for old romantic movies, retro tech, and fun animation.
