We’RE a creative agency specializing in visual storytelling. We craft work that moves hearts, shifts minds and shapes culture.
About us
hake was founded by Daley and Michelle Hake, a husband-and-wife team, and began as a production-focused studio in Los Angeles, honing their craft and building client relationships that now span more than a decade.
They eventually traded city life for the nearby San Bernardino mountains. Small town living surprisingly connected them with like-minded LA industry expats and hake evolved to offer a broader scope.
Today, hake is a team of multidisciplinary creatives partnering across strategy, branding, and production.
