Check out these cool illustrations our design team created to show the right spaces for different types of houseplants from the Proven Winners leafjoy® line. These designs were printed onto bench cards and point of purchase signage. We can't get over the cozy details!

We're glad she got in touch with us after submitting a really incredible business card and resume, because we got a great intern and so much more out of the deal. Now our full-time design director, we can't imagine OC without Leslie!

We’re glad she finally got back to us, because Leslie has been an incredible asset to the team ever since she walked in the door.

Beginning November 11th, we want your donated items!

Our resident Sagittarians, Brian, Sara, and Meredith, are turning a combined total of 115 years. Help us celebrate during this holiday season by collecting at least 115 items to share with those in need (with two legs or four) throughout our community. Winter outerwear, clothing, non-perishable food items, hygiene items, dog & cat food, whatever you wish to donate!

Donations during regular business hours can be taken to OC Creative, 1600 E. Lincoln Hwy. Suite D, DeKalb by December 12. Our team will be gathering for a quarterly meeting on Friday December 13th where we will sort the items for distribution. Reach out to a local OCer if pick up is needed!

We welcomed lots of beautiful Proven Winners houseplants into the studio last week! Filmed a handful of instructional videos, and b-roll of unboxing the stars of the show. Our employees and work neighbors got to take some of them home at the end of the day! 🪴
