Studio Management

Oscar Valdez, Principal / Creative Director

Oscar began his design career at digital media startups and boutique design studios where he cut his teeth in all aspects of design and marketing. Eventually, making a shift to advertising, he transitioned his career to join some of the biggest global agencies where he worked on blue-chip brands such as IBM, American Express, Motorola and Coca-Cola.

Recognizing a need for exceptional and strategy driven creative in typically underserved markets, Oscar founded Detyper Studio. Storytelling has always been central to his vision which is why he has spent over 20 years helping businesses tell their brand stories that engage audiences and customers.

“Businesses often see design as a commodity rather than an investment in brand building.”

As the studio’s Principal and Creative Director, Oscar works directly with clients to ensure excellence in all aspects of a project, from conception to delivery. His passion for design and professional experience has given him a unique a perspective on what it takes to build a distinctive and memorable brand.
