CREATIVITY
Our goal is simply to go where no creative design team has gone before. Truly innovative design requires a mix of seriously hard work, ingenuity and a boatload of trust. We call ourselves “creationists” because we strive to craft something completely new every day. Whether logo design or web design, we bring the trademark “Oblique slant” to every project because as we say, “Great design isn’t just our job, it’s our lives.”

Our collective ad agency backgrounds and expertise provide us the ability to quickly relate to a company’s marketing and design needs allowing us to transform brands from start-up to market domination.

At Oblique we believe this is a people-driven business and understand that we all prefer to work with people we like. It starts with a creative office environment that translates into long-lasting client relationships and friendships. Oh, and just as a disclaimer, we also believe in a strict work hard/play hard mantra… so strap on your seat belts!

Also known to colleagues as “The Creative Ninja,” Jeffrey is the anchor at Oblique for his creative design tactics and ability to theorize and communicate conceptual ideas that capture and engage all audiences.
Jeffrey is no stranger to creative design – after all, he drew all over the walls as a toddler. But the real secrets behind his aesthetic sense come from a conservative Japanese background combined with an urban upbringing in Denver. You won’t find him without a sketchbook in hand. Even if there’s a game controller in the other!
