Ampersand is a metamorphosis-minded design studio. Our work helps companies evolve to become fully realized, instantly familiar, beloved brands.

Our Approach

An intuition-led journey into the creative process (with rails).


We arrive at our work as tapped-in human beings–showing up wholly present to the experience your offerings are bringing into the world. We see you. And we see what you have to offer. Our workflows honor the creative process, your business, and you. Clients find working with Ampersand to be clarifying, amplifying, and affirming.

Our Work

We see the future through design.


We build brands for companies who are redefining their categories. Who are making the very thing they needed and couldn’t find. Who are offering up their highest and best for the benefit of others. Our work gets to the heart of that moment when you discover a product you don’t know how you lived without, delivering “Aha!” moments that win the hearts of your biggest fans.

Our People

Hearts, hands, heads.


We are a full-bodied creative team of discerning, thoughtful, talented folks who really listen. We understand that time is the most limited resource we have, and we choose to spend our time and creative energy supporting the brightest and best pursuits.
