About Us

Hi. We are Best. 

Best was founded in 2018 by designers Sami Christianson and Mariko Whitley. After a combined 15+ years of agency experience and award-winning work, Best was born from a desire to create brands that are as beautifully crafted as they are strategic. As a small but dedicated team, we are able to provide personal and tailored solutions for all your design needs. 

We are happiest spending our days dreaming up new designs, choosing exquisite paper stocks, eating Bon Matins from Chambar and listening to the newest Jonathan Van Ness podcast.
