Hey, hi, what’s up!
Emma Low,
CEO of Dox Design
I’m Emma, and I am so excited to be stepping into the role of CEO at Dox Design!
First off, I just want to thank the incredible team and community for the warm welcome. Kaila has built an amazing company known for its innovative spirit and client dedication. and this is a dream come true, and I’m ready to grow the business to new heights. A little bit about me: I’ve been a professional photographer and business owner for 8 years and worked in digital marketing for almost just as long.
Professionally, I’m passionate about cultivating a culture that celebrates creativity, growth, and radical candor. (Personally, I love documenting my family’s misadventures, vintage clothes shopping, traveling with my husband Steve, and an iced mocha with an extra shot of espresso.)
Kaitlyn Stegmaier,
Creative Director
My two first loves: design and dogs (not necessarily in that order) - so I’m really not kidding when I say that finding my place at Dox has been an absolute dream. Based in Toronto, Canada, I draw a lot of my design inspo from the funky and lively vibes of the city. Outside of Dox, you can find me spending time with my furry niece, Lola, and binging some true crime with my sister.
Paris Trumbower,
Senior Designer
Your whimsical Graphic Designer with a chaotic cat sidekick. Based in Wisconsin it is no surprise we wound up in a town full of ghosts, because if I had to describe myself as a designer it would be something along the lines of, “witchy, whimsical, Midwest, botanist.” Don’t let the spirits scare you though because we’re all about bringing life into the world through art.
Christina Jackson,
Designer
Hey, it’s Christina, and this is my moody BSH sidekick, Mila! Based in the drizzly and gloomy Manchester, UK, mine and Mila’s moody vibes fit right in. Despite the weather, I’m all about working with cheerful, happy colour palettes. I’m on a mission to sprinkle my creative magic, turning client ideas into vibrant, visual wonders that bring a positive burst to their lives. Moody days in Manchester, but my creative palette is bursting with colour and cheer!
Angela Stiftar,
Designer
“Bourbon drinking, floral loving, sassafras” is how a friend once described me and to this day I’m still proud of the quirky characterization. Based in Columbus Ohio, I value the midwest mentality of friendliness and family, but find my creative inspiration in world travel, nature, and folklore. My creative (and meditative) outlet away from the computer, is print making – selling hand carved/hand pressed block prints across the country at arts festivals.
Kati Keyes,
Director of Business Dev
Hey! I'm Kati - and once I start my day with a warm cup of matcha latte, I'm all about brand marketing and strategy. With a degree in psychology in hand and my rescue dog Reese by my side, I love helping businesses create a memorable experience that turns customers into raving fans. When I'm not shaking up the brand world, I enjoy hanging out with my family and exploring the great outdoors.
Our design values
Kindness
Think of the sweetest, most loving dog you’ve ever met: that’s what we strive to be every single day. We infuse kindness and understanding into every step of the way in our process—and not just to our clients, but to our fellow fur friends, industry professionals, and followers. This principle translates into our design by ensuring our clients’ voices are truly heard and reflected across their brand.
Fun
If there’s no room for fun in the process, we don’t want it. Sure, branding is hard work… but we not only do we wanna work like a dog, we wanna PLAY like a dog, too! We believe in balancing our professionalism and expertise with room to explore, get curious, and play—and doing it in collaboration as a team with our clients!
Individuality
While we have a proven, tried-and-true process for branding and design, we believe in leaving room for flexibility and individuality in the process. Just like every dog has their own unique personality, our clients do, too—which is why you won’t find cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all solutions here, fur friend. Every brand we design is 100% unique to you and you alone, because there’s truly nobody else out there like you!
Inclusivity
We’re proud to run with a diverse pack of business-owners in every aspect of the word. It’s no secret that we have a deep appreciation and passion for supporting pet brands, but we’re here to support ALL types of businesses whose values align with ours, and are strong in their mission and purpose. No matter your industry, skin color, sexual orientation, gender identity, or background, if you’re a good human (and your business does good for others), then we’ll likely get right along.
The inspiration behind Dox Design
Finley, Ferb and Felix are not just major players of Dox Design, but of our entire lives! If it wasn’t for these spunky little Dachshunds, Dox Design’s love for dogs wouldn’t exist.
