EAST OAK
FUTURE-FIRST CREATIVITY INFUSED WITH DELICIOUS DESIGN
East Oak was born from the idea that creativity is limitless. We believe that as individuals, you can excel at anything you set your mind to; but as a collective, we can redesign the fabric of our society.
We've been asked whether East Oak is an agency, a brand, or an atelier, and the answer is yes - we are all of the above. Through our services, events, and products, East Oak brings dreams to life and assists independent brands, artists, and influencers in engineering ideas.
We invite you to explore our world, where we seamlessly blend the realms of innovation and aesthetic design. Our mission is simple: to elevate our culture. Through authentic collaborations and by leveraging the power of our network of tastemakers, we create a delectable fusion of art and entertainment. Join us on a journey where imagination meets influence as we tell our story in ways that leave a lasting impression on the senses and the soul.
FLAGSHIP VENTURES
Our recent projects and ventures represent the evolution of East Oak and a deeper immersion into our ethos. Our legacy is rooted in compelling storytelling, enriching the culture, and feeding the community — both literally and figuratively.
Our future is led by that legacy and we continue to help brands, organizations, and community leaders to visualize their fullest potential.

With the unprecedented challenges brought by the pandemic of 2020, writing a cookbook became a source of solace. Good Ass Food is an immersive escape into the world of flavors that provided comfort and connection when physical distance became difficult. This is our perspective on food through rap lyrics and hot takes. Good Ass Food is not some regular ‘ol cookbook. It's a conversation with your homie over dinner. It's a styrofoam plate wrapped in aluminum foil from your cousin's cookout.

We’ve curated a series of private dinners for tastemakers, thought leaders and creatives. Dîner Privé fuses intimate networking and deep conversation with delicious dishes of equal depth.

For the past year, East Oak has been in pre-production for one of our massive efforts yet. [UNTITLED] is a sitcom that hilariously highlights a place that will be familiar to many from a perspective that has never before been seen on television. We’re being very tight-lipped, but for now, you can get a preview of the concept and our approach to character creation.
All great stories have an ending and these projects are no exception. From the very beginning, East Oak has been a leader in creativity and innovation. These ventures represent our foundations and our self discovery.

ARCHIVE VENTURES

With our first product design venture, East Oak sought to establish access to a modern cultured and curated lifestyle no matter where you are. We took our cues from nature and allowed the spirit of the product to drive the design process. This is what creates true sensory experiences. We know that scent has the ability to transform spaces. We believe that fragrance can offer you a momentary escape.
-
We’ve designed award winning websites, logos, direct-to-consumer products, and brand identities. At our core, we believe that big ideas are conveyed through the minute details. Design will always be important to us so we’ve evolved to support a more consultative model. See a samples of our previous work or request our portfolio.

We took the nostalgic nature of an old school supper club and evolved that into one of a kind, once in a lifetime experiences centered around food, culture and conversation.

Over the course of three distinct seasons, Black Millennial (BLKMLNL) unpacked the concepts of identity, sexuality, self-care and spirituality. We go beyond the surface of these ideas to dissect what drives our culture, how our community can best navigate all that we experience and how we can create a sustainable future.
