Founded on our love of travel and thirst for creativity.
Founded on a shared love of travel, design, and the kind of ideas that refuse to stay in the group chat.
Before OOE, we were two creatives building brands, websites, and campaigns for our own clients, collaborating quietly, usually from different corners of the world. Eventually, it just made sense to make it official.
So we took a road trip…somewhere between the long stretch of highway one, small towns, and too many coffees, Opposite of East was born.
We started OOE because we noticed something missing.
Most agencies build brands that look good or work well, rarely both. Founders were spinning plates instead of scaling, constantly in their business instead of leading it.
We wanted the opposite.
A studio built on clarity, creativity, and systems that scale, so founders can do what they actually set out to do: live, play, travel, and think clearly.
Because the goal isn’t to build a brand that keeps you busy.
It’s to build one that gives you freedom.
Opposite of Working
We believe business should feel intentional, creative, and quietly confident, the kind that lets you mentally clock out, knowing everything’s still running beautifully in the background.
That’s what we call the Opposite of Working.
And that’s the real luxury, time, clarity, and a brand that works while you don’t.
You just found your team…
and maybe your brand’s next great plot twist.
