OUR STORY
The year was 1994, the class was Offset Printing with Dr. Gullickson. On a September morning, amidst greasy-based inks and industrial paper cutters, two fresh-faced design students first met. A fast friendship was formed. They planned their class schedules together, consulted with each other on projects and laid the foundation for a working partnership that would shape their careers.
Twenty-five years later, having worked as the creative team in multiple agencies, our founders took action and realized their dream of forming their own agency. With a vision to conduct business more effectively and a goal of supporting positive change in the world, Shift Creative was born.
