An Open Letter Introducing The Curious Human Agency

Art. For more than 20 years my art has been the shape of my design and the inspiration for my illustration and the silent muse to my poetry. It has set the tone of my personal brand's voice and it is often the first place I turn when thinking out loud.

I've sold more than 30 original paintings, 20 different commissions, and more than 100 different prints. I've also experienced long stretches of complete financial silence. And still I made art. My art has lived in galleries, coffee shops, studios, businesses, churches, and homes. And still I asked questions about the wind and truth and light and love.

Design. It’s no surprise that many of you know me through this primary channel of professional engagement —and I am incredibly grateful to have worked with hundreds of clients, teams, and leaders with justinpheap.co. Brand and Identity design has become an integral and vital part of my work.

My longtime collaborators at justinpheap.co have experienced firsthand both the diverse offerings and the occasional complexity that comes with my multi-faceted approach. While the wide array of creative avenues has pushed me towards innovation, it hasn't always provided the clearest path for clients. This new venture represents a deliberate distillation of my most effective and focused services, moving from a deeper understanding of how to best support your vision for the future.

Idea. About a year ago, I had an idea: what would it look like to build something from the ground up based on two distinct forces that seems to have eluded justinpheap.co: curiosity and clarity. Where justinpheap.co was born out of necessity, this new project has been shaped by careful consideration. Where justinpheap.co has always been wild, rebellious, and young —this new experience is a distillation of my most helpful, compelling, and thoughtful services for the future we can create together.

Say hello to The Curious Human Agency.

Curious Human will have plenty of art, don't worry. Am I nervous? Yes. Will it fail? Maybe. Will it stop me? Never.

Starting this month (April 2025), all new work relating to Creative Consulting, Brand & Identity Design, and Leadership Development will move to Curious Human. What will become of justinpheap.co? TBA.

Oh, I am starting this quite literally from the ground up. So, I could use new work, new followers, new partners, and new connections as I depend almost solely on word-of-mouth advertising and marketing. Immensely grateful for your engagement and collaboration.

Stay curious, friends.
