Employer Bio.

Simplicity Surrounded by Chaos
WE LOVE THE MESSY BITS. As much as we crave the order. Remember what your mom said, "Creativity ain't pretty…And stop painting your brother when he's asleep."

What's the criteria?
Hard work: yes.
Debate: welcomed.
Getting it: essential.
Team player: what else?
Passion: scalable, but we gotta feel it.

And we feel it daily.

The need to follow an independent and entrepreneurial path led Jim Fletcher and Nick Olson, just out of college, into this business. After a stint designing and carving granite headstones, they turned to peddling sign-making door-to-door. Hard work and keen design landed them a handful of clients including Hollywood Video. Eventually, to better fulfill their client's design needs, they sprung out Opus Creative in 1994.

At the heart of Opus' success today is a talented team of designers, creators, programmers, writers, directors, producers, strategists and account experts who know (and love) brand, design and social communications-online, offline, and marketing strategy. Providing companies with soulful and strategic technical solutions. And headstones upon request.
