TEAM
Shannon DeJonG/Founder & Exec creative dirECTOR
You're looking for a decade of naming & nomenclature expertise and Tetris-like strategic brain? Creativity worth a million suns? Or maybe just a little common sense?
Game on.
I've been agency-side, client-side and freelance, and now lead my own team of creative specialists who know how to get to the essence of a problem—so you get smart, workable answers.
As a team, our eclectic backgrounds and artistic sensibilities help us keep it real in branding and life. We believe that being our whole, true selves doesn't just make us happier. It makes us really (really) good at what we do.

OUR CLIENTS

Our clients tend to be seekers, visionaries, and rebels—individuals who want to leave a personal and professional legacy that feels true to them. Brands start with the human beings who give them life; we believe that brand work can be as positive and transformational for people as it is for companies.

PROJECTS
ArtistCEO Podcast
Enter the mind of a newly-minted CEO doing business sans MBA...but with a background in performance art and Zen Buddhist philosophy.
Protagonist Shannon DeJong and host Kerri Lowe document the journey to integrate two selves (an "artist" self and a "professional" self) in order to become one self - an ArtistCEO.
Part narrative documentary, part performance art, part live-your-values kick-in-the-pants - ArtistCEO is the real story behind what it takes to make business and art play nice.
Co-produced by House of Who & Millo.co.

PURO KINTSUGI
