So where you all from?
When they ask where the hell is Chillicothe Ohio, we all say the same thing, it's just... South of Columbus
WE MAKE THINGS PEOPLE NOTICE.
South of Columbus Creative is a full-service creative company born and raised in Chillicothe, Ohio. We help businesses, organizations, events, and big ideas find their voice, look better, and stand out in a world full of noise.
With more than 20 years of creative experience, we specialize in graphic design, branding, illustration, web design, commercial printing, custom apparel, and promotional products. But more than anything, we solve creative problems.
We believe good design should have a pulse. It should feel intentional, tell a story, and actually connect with people. No cookie-cutter templates. No chasing every trend. Just original ideas, real creativity, and work built specifically for you.
We’re proud of where we’re from. We’re inspired by the grit, stories, and people of Southern Ohio—and we bring that same work ethic to every project that comes through our door.
Big brand thinking without the big agency fluff.
Real ideas. Real design. Made South of Columbus.
