ALSO DEPT. is an independent creative studio based in Nashville and Detroit, offering art and design services since 2020.

We’re built small on purpose. Not to do less — but to do better. Flexible, focused, and connected to the work; collaborating with our clients rather than working for them. We get in the weeds, ask the uncomfortable questions, and chase the same vision together.

We believe culture is the currency. From record labels to restaurants, we collaborate with the ones shaping how the world looks and feels right now. Our work aims to push boundaries, challenge expectations, and leave a mark beyond the moment.

Hard work that’s easy on the eyes™

KIND WORDS

  • "On one hand, I selfishly hesitate to recommend ALSO DEPT., wanting to keep them all to myself. On the other, I want Joe and Jeremiah to have every ounce of success they deserve - because they are, without question, the most creative, thoughtful, and talented duo I’ve ever worked with. They’ve not only exceeded expectations on every project we’ve ever collaborated on, but their work has genuinely moved me to tears. Beyond their exceptional talent, they are remarkable humans and working with them is a true joy."

    — Tyler Helikson, Co-Founder and CEO, Happy + Hale

  • "ALSO DEPT. has been an indispensable creative partner for The Infatuation since 2021. As we've scaled and grown over the years, Joe and Jeremiah have provided a wide range of art and design services for us – from merchandise design, to environmental art and graphics in our NYC and LA headquarters, to event/activation design at EEEEEATSCON. ALSO DEPT. brings a rare blend of novel creative vision and quality execution, while having a lot of fun doing it."

    Nick Bilardello, Chief Brand Officer, The Infatuation

  • "I worked with Joe and Jeremiah for nearly eight years, and they consistently struck that rare balance of being both deeply professional and genuinely fun–and their work reflects that same energy. They are extraordinarily hardworking, detail-obsessed, and always willing to stretch beyond their comfort zones if a project calls for it. Over the years, they've cultivated a deep fluency in the experiential power of graphic art–something I believe distinguishes ALSO DEPT. from most creative studios out there. Oh, and they’re just stellar humans; colleagues who quickly become friends. I can't recommend them enough!"

    — Ashley Couch, Global Director of Interior Design, WeWork

  • "When we launched Artville, we needed more than a design firm – we needed creative leadership. ALSO DEPT. helped us shape the Artville brand in a way that felt distinctive, contemporary, and deeply aligned with our mission… and that continues today. They didn’t stop at branding. As artists and brand strategists for our inaugural event, they also led our public art mural curation and coordination, bringing together artists and guiding the creative vision with passion, clarity, and care. Their approach was thoughtful and collaborative, and their execution was flawless. I would recommend them to any organization looking for both strategic thinking and exceptional creative execution."

    — Sam Saturn, Co-Founder, Artville

  • "Since 2021, ALSO DEPT. have been an amazing creative partner for Kane Realty. Joe and Jeremiah always bring fresh ideas to the table and are a joy to work with. We trust AD. to execute anything we throw at them – whether branding the tallest residential building in Raleigh, or painting a 5,000 square foot mural on the side of Maker’s Alley. Plus, they’re fun!"

    — Samara Kidd, Project Design Associate, Kane Realty

Meeting in Brooklyn in 2015, Joe Geis and Jeremiah Britton immediately began collaborating on art and design projects – both in-house at WeWork, and in their spare time.

After over a decade of individually working in-house at start-ups and larger corporations across the music, hospitality, entertainment, and tech industries in New York City, the pair made the decision to lean into their shared drive of curiosity and break free of corporate life in 2020.

Starting from a mutual desire to get their hands dirty again and remind themselves why they got into art and design to begin with, they established ALSO DEPT. – an independent creative studio based in Nashville and Detroit – without the limitations and bureaucracy of stock options, billionaire shareholders, PTO approvals, and quarterly manager reviews.
