Ready to grow into what's next?

Let’s talk about where you are and where you want to be.

In 15 minutes, I can help you clarify your next move—no pressure, no hard sell. Just a focused conversation about how Tohlen Creative might be able to help through intentional, strategic design.

Tohlen Creative is an independent design studio in Kansas City, Missouri led by Jared Tohlen.

I'm a chronic improver, and after 15 years in design serving all kinds of clients I believe every brand has untapped potential.

Maybe your logo doesn’t quite reflect who you are anymore. Maybe your materials feel piecemeal, dated, or misaligned. Maybe you're about to make a big shift. Or maybe you’re just ready to be taken more seriously. I'll help you get there with smart, strategic creative that moves your brand forward.
