Philosophy

"I launched Offsite with the belief that design professionals need equal parts community, personal creative practice, and career empowerment to be fulfilled and do their best work. By approaching design recruitment and team-building through a high-craft, community-first lens, our team at Offsite has consistently developed some of the best designers and creative teams across the globe."


Approach

At Offsite, we are gathering the few who move the many. We prioritize listening first, then take a hyper-personalized approach to discovering what "great design" means for you and your team. From consulting and advisory services to sourcing and recruitment to event planning and internal brand work, we tackle a little bit of everything on our way to helping build truly top 1% style creative organizations.
