About Brian Ott(enbach).

I’m a life-long artist, working as a graphic designer and creative director since 2017. With Ottenbach Design, you find a true partner in your work. Your success is my success. If working with an agency feels impersonal, rushed, and pushy, then working directly with a designer might be exactly what you need. Are you ready to make a move with your new idea? I can help with that.

Let's talk
  • "After one conversation, Brian took the scattered, abstract ideas in my head and turned them into a brand I'm proud to own. Kentucky Hop Water's identity wouldn't be where it is today without his input early on. His creativity, communication, and timing made the whole process work. I can't wait to work with him again!"

  • "Working with Brian Ott of Ottenbach Design has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From the moment we both showed up to our first meeting wearing Ray-Ban Clubmasters, I knew I had found my guy. Brian brought a level of thoughtfulness, insight, and intention to the branding process that truly impressed me. One of the most valuable things I learned from him is that a logo isn’t just a design, it’s the punctuation on your brand. It’s the final flourish that communicates everything you stand for in one elegant mark."

    Jen Bienvenu - Owner, J. Bienvenu Interiors

  • "Brian gathered all of my scatter-brained thoughts and put them into a branding experience that was refined, and truly reflected the heart of my business. Being a great human in general was the bow on top. When I come across friends and collaborators with design needs, Brian is the first person I recommend, because he is always spot on in really seeing his clients, and providing top tier work!"

    Kate Starkel - Owner, Mundane Photography

  • “Brian was great to work with! We were able to communicate back and forth clearly about the concept and design and the final product that he created was exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend him as a trusted professional to collaborate with to make your vision a reality."

    Andrew Kung - Owner, Andrew Kung Group

  • “I have always been impressed with Brian's professionalism. Not only does he have an intuitive sense for design, he also has wonderful personal skills, and is an exceptional human being. I highly recommend Brian for any of your design needs!"
