04 / About the studio

Meet Josh & Ky.

We’re Josh and Ky Novak, the founders of The Wavering Line. You’ll work directly with us from the first conversation through delivery. Josh leads brand strategy, creative direction and digital design. Ky shapes the visual language, tone and storytelling.

Our studio moves between screens and hands-on work, from websites and apps to ceramics and public murals. Across those projects, we think about how people will actually encounter and use what we make.
