About me
Josh Oakley has been designing for dollars since 2004, which as of writing this, gives him 13 years of experience working on brands ranging from Starbucks to The Gates Foundation, from K2 Sports to Microsoft. Cutting his teeth as an intern at Seattle’s Modern Dog back in 2004, their approach of blending together illustration, lettering, and design has stuck with him to this day. That’s 50% of where Josh is coming from, if you will — the other 50% is rooted in meticulous typographic sensibilities (perhaps in contrast), studying type design in 2013 and 14.
Projects
  • Vacation
    VacationPortland-based Simple.com seeks to reinvent banking. Part of a larger campaign that riffed on the idea of things that go together like budgeting & banking — the core value proposition of their app is that your bank can also be your budgeting tool — this spot took that simple idea of "X+Y" and spun it into a full story about finding true love. Josh wrote the script for the piece then worked with the director and producer to pull off a barebones shoot in LA.
  • Slurpee RV
    Slurpee RVSlurpees are an American institution, one built out of primary colors and high-fructose corn syrup. More than anything, they represent youthful summertimes, an idyllic past of driver’s permits and perfect metabolisms. This RV for the iconic 7-11 brand traveled to Warped Tours around the U.S., spreading the gospel of more being more. Every inch was crammed with blobs, squiggles, and pizza slices exploding from inside.
  • Fall National Meeting  | Target Environmental graphics
