AFTER HOURS
After Hours is a brand and design studio built off a core belief: brands with a clear POV are the ones people remember. So that’s what we like to do—build strategies, stories, and brand worlds that hit the zeitgeist. Have a perspective. And stick around. In the memory bank and in the market.
We’re a small team of creatives, with partners Shy Trutwein and Jasmine Gallagher at the helm. We’ve stayed small by design. It keeps us nimble, close to the work, and free of the bloat. The people you talk to? They’re the ones actually building your brand—hands-on, all-in, every time. We also bring in the right talent for the job, assembling a tailored team to match your project. No filler, no fluff. Just the right people, on the right project, every time.
Our approach is collaborative, immersive, and thoughtful. Our process? More pragmatic than precious. We don’t follow a house style—we prefer variety, giving each brand its own voice,its own story, its own rules. But if there’s an After Hours signature, it’s this: expressive, layered, and dynamic. Work that doesn’t just look good but feels like it belongs—buttoned up when it needs to be, unbuttoned when it should be. And always with a perspective.
After Hours website was an immediate attention grabber and I had already decided by this point that I’d like to be a part of something like this. Their bold, unapologetic approach is inspiring and essential for developing and growing as a designer. The idea of immersive and thoughtful design also relates to me and my practice.
