Ordinary is just so blah-de-dah. Who wants that? Not you. Not us.

No Ordinary Design is an indie studio for bold, strategic branding and design run by Samantha Mitzel, a creative director and designer with more than 15 years of agency experience. In that time, she built identities from scratch, evolved legacy brands, and crafted illustrations, packaging, and experiences along the way.

After years of helping brands break through the noise, Sam launched NOD to help brands of all sizes find their edge by blending big-agency thinking with small-studio soul, so you get the brains of a big team, the heart of a small one, and none of the blah-de-dah in between.

So let’s make something whoohoohooooo together. Something yee-doggy. Something so spot-on it makes us smile inside, even if we’re trying to act all poker-face professional.
