Then we discovered design—and everything changed.

There are several foundational principles of good design, but contrast is far and away our favorite. Without it, there is nothing.

It was this desire to stand apart that inspired us to launch Contrast & Co., a boutique brand strategy, identity, and design consultancy driven to create the smartest, most strikingly different brand experiences on the planet.

Today, we’re doing just that. Our award-winning brands defy convention and empower our clients to stand out in the sea of similarity. We’ve worked with a broad array of organizations—from well-funded, highly visible industry startups to global consulting powerhouses to nonprofits sitting on the other side of the planet.

Contrast is a strikingly different mindset.

We came from all over the creative world, and have been the leaders at the biggest shops in town. But look beyond fancy offices, big teams, and red carpets, and you will find a surprising amount of predictability, friction, and inertia. These are the enemies of creativity and the hidden factors that compromise outcomes for clients.

We’re not going to do that. What you will find here is a group of highly talented creative individuals solely focused on you, your brand, and your objectives. It’s our passion to create possibility, and we refuse to accept reality as a limitation. Because real opportunity usually lies buried beneath the insurmountable. And that’s exactly the space you’ll find us exploring.
