Sharpe Creative is an all-killer, no-filler, one-person branding studio staying small to help you go big.

hi, i'm andy.
I'm simple.

I've always wanted to have a lean, mean business. I don't want to staff up. I don't want to add-on more services. I don't want a fancy office... Our world is complex enough. I want focus. I want intention. I want to go heads down, and passionately do the best work I can for ambitious folks who see the value in having a strong brand. Bringing big experience while staying small, I can more easily help others grow.

To succeed, I don't need awards (though I've won quite a few). I don't need influencer status (that sounds exhausting). I don't need piles of money...

A small group of the right relationships a year keep me creatively fulfilled, my family well provided for, and allow me to be around more as a husband and father. If you'd like to work together this year, reach out!

code of conduct

Be Truthful 😇

No snake oil, magic bullets, or fluffy industry buzzwords. Honesty is the best policy. I will only sell what I believe is in the best interest of your business.

Be Your Own Flavor 🦄

Trying to be another brand is a waste of time. Don't be a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Find your inner Black Raspberry Oreo Chunk, ice cream, and own it.

True Stories > Shiny Objects ✨

Many businesses are chasing shiny objects. Trying to beat the algorithm, find the latest hack or shortcut, and jump on the social media flavor of the week... They have no clue how to differentiate. If you own who you are, you can put some blinders up, kill the distractions, and succeed.

Pro People 🤠

“Human capital” and “assets” are garbage ways to refer to people. Brands are the humans that form them. We work with people, not "assets."

If You Win, We Win 🤜💥🤛

I'm intentionally small. If we work together, we both have skin in the game. I want my work to have an instrumental role in transforming your business.

Don't Work with Turds 💩

We love doing good work for good-hearted, passionate people. Mutual respect can produce great results! Life is too short to partner up with turds.

Balance, Always ⚖️

Strategy without creative has no pulse and will get ignored and forgotten. Creative without being strategic is decoration. You need both.

Money Ain't Everything 🤑

We all have to pay the bills, but money isn't a core motivator (see previous beliefs). The right partnerships, craft, and creating impact... those are true motivators! Sharpe Creative works to live, not lives to work.

Branding is one of the few true magic arts of the business world. And Andy is a wizard. He knows the alchemy between simple and distinct that can be translated into real commercial outcomes.

Andy has a great ability to understand who we are as a company, but also makes us look past where we currently are toward the future.

Old Scratch Pizza

Sharpe Creative worked with us to develop a brand position and identity that allows us to attract, confidently meet with, and secure deals in the new markets we are targeting. Agency-level creative work at a cost that makes more sense for a more agile business like ours.

PATRICK LAKE

APPLIED SCIENCES

Andy has worked with us on two restaurant projects. He is a brilliant designer and excellent communicator who helped us every step of the way. He was able to take our brand to the next level.

I couldn't imagine a better partner for my studio branding. Sharpe Creative gave me above and beyond what I expected, and the quality achieved (even in the early stages) was extraordinary.

Sharpe Creative brings a level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail that goes above and beyond expectations and sets clients up for success in a way we haven't experienced with other service providers.

In a few words, Andy is talented, witty, fun, dynamic, compassionate, and positive. Sharpe Creative did an amazing job refreshing our company's branding taking what we knew about our brand and bringing it to fruition.

Ripple Junction

Sharpe Creative has been an invaluable partner as Fifth Street Brewpub has worked to update our brand. Without Andy's expertise we likely would not have moved forward, or would have done so with a lesser product.

KRIS KROPFF

Fifth Street Brewpub

Andy is a true master of his craft. The outside the box thinking is exactly what we needed to stand out. He presents in a way that allows you to see the intricacies of the process. We will absolutely continue working with Andy in the future.
