Third & Market is a founder-led design studio for businesses that care about how every part of the brand comes together.

We start by understanding what is already working, what feels disconnected, and where the clearest opportunity lies. From there, we shape a direction with enough clarity to feel distinct and enough range to work well beyond launch.

The result is not a collection of nice-looking pieces. It is a brand that feels considered from every angle.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Life partners since 2014.
Founders since 2021.

Third & Market is led by Erin and Jon Phillips, a husband-and-wife team with two very different (and very complementary) ways of thinking.

Erin leads the studio’s strategy, creative direction, and design. Jon brings structure, systems, and technical experience to the way projects are planned and built.

Together, we care equally about the idea and the execution. The creative should be strong. The process should feel clear. And the finished work should hold up in the real world.

BEHIND THE STUDIO

CORE VALUES

These values shape how we work, who we work with, and the kind of brands we build.

  • The best direction usually begins with something that is already there.

    We take the time to understand the business, the people behind it, and what makes it worth paying attention to. Then we build from that—not from a trend or a story that does not belong.

  • A decision made in one place affects the rest of the brand.

    We think beyond individual deliverables and consider how everything feels together, so each piece can do its job without losing the larger idea.

  • Good design is not about adding more.

    We edit, refine, and make choices with a reason behind them. Nothing should be there simply because it looks good in a presentation.

  • Creative work should not feel confusing.

    We communicate openly, explain the thinking behind our recommendations, and make sure clients always know where the project stands and what comes next.

  • We bring an outside perspective. You bring a deep understanding of the business.

    The strongest work comes from both. We lead the direction, listen closely, and make room for honest conversation throughout the process.
