Founder-Led. 
Strategy-Driven. 
Design-Defined.

The Wavering Line design studio is a founder-led creative practice led by Josh and Ky Novak. We partner with visionary leaders, founder-led brands, and premium companies to shape brand identity, digital presence, and visual storytelling that elevates perception and drives meaningful growth.

Clarity Before Creativity.

Strong brands aren't decorated - they're constructed.

We begin with positioning and narrative clarity.
We refine through disciplined design systems.
We elevate through intentional storytelling.

Every decision – from typography to user flow to motion – exists to support the larger strategy.

We believe thoughtful design changes how ideas are received - and remembered.

A Direct Creative Partnership

When you work with The Wavering Line, you work directly with its founders – from first conversation to final launch.

Josh leads brand strategy, digital architecture, and creative direction.
Ky refines visual cohesion, tone, and storytelling execution.

We intentionally remain a focused studio.
No account layers. No dilution. No handoffs.

Just strategic collaboration and senior-level execution throughout the entire process.

We care deeply about the details because they shape how your work is perceived in the world.

What We Do

Where Strategy Meets Craft.

Brand Identity

Crafting cohesive brand systems that clarify positioning, elevate perception, and create lasting recognition.

Website Design & Development

Designing high-performing digital experiences that balance usability, aesthetics, and strategic impact.

Cinematic Storytelling

Producing visual narratives - from brand films to dynamic content - that engage, inspire, and amplify your message.

We Work Best With

Visionary leaders and personal brands building authority and long-term platforms. Founder-led companies refining positioning and preparing for meaningful growth. Premium brands elevating perception, experience, and market presence.

Our clients value strategy as much as aesthetics. They understand that clarity drives impact.

If you’re building something meaningful and enduring — we’re aligned.

The Wavering Line exists between structure and intuition.

That tension defines our process — strategic enough to perform, creative enough to inspire.

We believe the strongest brands are built in that space.
