01 / A point of view
Pretty. Purposeful.
Built to move things forward.
Every creative choice has a job.
We start with the problem your company needs to solve and the outcome you want. Then we find the right voice, tone and visual direction to connect the two. Aesthetics earn attention. Clear messaging gives that attention somewhere to go. Production, consulting or something entirely new: the problem shapes the answer.

05 / How it starts
Start with a conversation.
Build from there.
A conversation before a commitment.
From a neighborhood business to a national brand, we start the same way: understand the problem, then find a useful way forward within your budget.
What needs to change?
Tell us what needs to change and who you need to reach. The first conversation is free.
Shape the solution.
We find the right approach and scope for your budget, from production to consulting.
Agree before we begin.
We put the scope, schedule and fees in writing. Work starts after we both sign.
06 / Creative solutions
When the answer
needs inventing.
The problem shapes the answer. Sometimes that’s a film. Sometimes it’s a new way to connect people, content and technology.
01 / Video walls + digital signage
We make video walls.
Any size. Any configuration. Content and screen planning that make a retail space, lobby or event feel different.
Tell us about your screens ↗07 / The studio
Good people.
Wherever it takes us.
Austin roots. An open horizon.
How we started
Mojave was founded in 2014 by Jonathan Hartwig and a small group of creatives who wanted a better way to work. We kept the creative ambition and close collaboration we valued in the agency world, then built more thoughtful processes around the parts that got in the way.
Where the work takes us
Remote since 2018, we build each production around what it needs. We rent, source or build the spaces, assemble the right crew and travel wherever the story takes us. Complex logistics, hard-to-reach locations and uncommon perspectives are part of the craft.
Who you work with
From the first conversation through the final delivery, you work with the people making the work. We keep the collaboration personal, wherever we land.
