Beyond ordinary.

How it works

Process

Same four steps whether it's a business card or a full rebrand. You always know what's next and what it costs.

01

Talk

A call or a coffee in Dawsonville. We learn the business, the audience and the deadline.

02

Sketch

Two or three distinct directions, presented with the reasoning behind each.

03

Refine

We take the one you pick and tighten it through rounds of feedback.

04

Deliver

Final files, press-ready art or a live site, plus a guide so it stays right.

The studio

Made in the foothills

Uncanny Creative works out of Dawsonville, Georgia, where the Blue Ridge foothills start. We work with businesses across North Georgia, and with clients anywhere else over email and video calls.

We're a two-person studio on purpose. Akeli designs your project and takes it through printing, and Emily keeps it organized and on schedule, so you always know who's working on it.

About us

Two of us.
One studio.

Uncanny Creative is a husband-and-wife design studio in Dawsonville, Georgia.

Akeli and Emily of Uncanny Creative
Akeli & Emily · Dawsonville, GA

We started Uncanny Creative so local businesses could get standout design and printing from people right down the road. We do the work ourselves, from the first conversation to the finished sign, box or website.

Designer & print production specialist

Akeli

Akeli has spent more than 10 years in the design and promotional products industry, so he knows how a logo looks on a screen and how it holds up on a shirt, a label or a storefront sign. He designs each project and guides it all the way through production, so the finished piece looks exactly like the proof you approved.

Office manager

Emily

Emily brings more than 8 years of marketing and administrative experience to the studio. She keeps every project organized and on schedule from first quote to final delivery, and she's the friendly voice who makes working with us easy.
