statement of interest
With our deep local roots and fresh perspectives, we feel drawn to the opportunity to partner with Philbrook to create a dynamic visual language that reflects the aspirational values it represents.
We care deeply about what Philbrook means to this city and beyond. We've personally felt the sense of belonging and cultural identity with the Philbrook as a place that is welcoming, inclusive, and creative.
We hope to work with you to create a brand where every touchpoint taps into the spirit of this special place while deepening its role as Tulsa’s most welcoming cultural space.
Our small team structure means no handoffs or silos and your team works directly with the people doing the work, ensuring thoughtfulness and consistency throughout. Our process is structured yet flexible, designed to move quickly while leaving room for adapting and iteration. We begin with a focused onboarding to align on vision and goals. From there, we move through discovery, strategy, creative development, and implementation—with regular check-ins, onsite work sprints, and shared tools to keep communication open and timelines tight.
