About

A small studio with big standards.

Northbound & Co. was founded in 2012 by Iris Okafor after years at larger agencies in Austin and abroad.

We wanted a studio small enough that the people you meet in the first meeting are the people who do the work. Today we're a team of 4, working from a converted space on Mill and with clients all over the world.

What we believe

Our values

Curious by default

Every project starts with questions, and the best ones change our minds.

Built to last

We design for the next ten years, not the next trend cycle.

Better together

We collaborate closely with in-house teams, makers and specialists we trust.
