A designer at heart,
a director by habit
I’m Ostrander Vale — an art director teaming up with founders who treat sharp design as a growth lever, not window dressing.
Ten years of shipping
For a decade I’ve lived between brand and product — agency years first, independent since — steering identities, sites, and apps from opening workshop to launch morning.
Ostrander Vale Creative stays deliberately small: one director, seasoned collaborators only, and a process where the next step — and its price — is always clear.
Off the tools, I write a weekly newsletter — short notes on craft, workflow, and the business side of design.
