Who We Are

We build for brands that mean something.

Most agencies treat mission-driven organizations as an afterthought. We built OakTheory specifically for the nonprofits, universities, and purpose-led founders who deserve design that reflects the depth of their work.

As a women of color–owned studio led by Veronica and Hannah, we bring lived perspective to every project — the nuance of identity-forward brands, the complexity of institutional clients, and the importance of getting it right.

Veronica & Hannah — Founders

Identity-informed design

We understand what it means to build a brand around who you are — not just what you do. Our work reflects the full complexity of your story.

Institutional experience

UCSF. Vanderbilt. We know how to navigate complex stakeholder environments, accessibility requirements, and long-term digital strategy.

Integrated development

We build with modern front-end stacks and integrate AI tooling where it drives real outcomes — not just for the pitch deck.

What We Do

Full-service design & development, end to end.

01

Web Design & Development

Strategy-led websites built for performance, accessibility, and conversion. Custom design, front-end development, and CMS implementation — nothing templated.

02

Brand Identity

Visual identity systems, brand strategy, messaging frameworks, and design language built to last — and to mean something to the people you're reaching.

03

Product Design (UX/UI)

Research, wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready UI for web applications and digital products. Built to scale, designed for real users.
