Summary:
Jeff and Neil are Partners at Nonfiction, a local branding and design agency based in Worthington. Their team works with clients like Huntington Bank, Columbus State, BalletMet and Echo Spirits Distilling. They envision every design project with less complexity and noise, and more honesty and meaning; which is how they help their clients stand out by being easier to understand so they can make stronger, more meaningful connections with their customers and stakeholders. Both Jeff and Neil come from agency backgrounds; but when they founded Nonfiction in January of 2018, they wanted to ensure they were more than just graphic designers. Rather, they have become part of the strategy process, helping their clients grow and evolve.
