Crystal Oakes is a dreamer, thinker, and professional problem solver.

She comes from a family of entrepreneurs and is passionate about educating small businesses and nonprofits about strategic marketing. As the founder and lead creative at Oakes Creative House, a boutique marketing agency based in Oklahoma, she taps into her creativity every day to help organizations with a wide range of marketing projects.

Her professional experience includes graphic design, photography, branding, event planning, merchandising, and all things digital marketing, including social media, email marketing, and websites. She has extensive experience in corporate global marketing and brand management in 22 countries across three continents and eight languages.

At Oakes Creative House, Crystal leads a team of seasoned designers, strategists and copywriters who create beautifully powerful brands that reflect the depth and wisdom of our dedicated clients. We love when someone new trusts us with a piece of their project. We believe that relationships are the foundation of meaningful, effective work. That being said, we love getting to know clients so we can anticipate their needs and dreams before they see them themselves.

Born and raised in western Oklahoma, she graduated with honors from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor of fine arts in visual communications. When she’s not working on client projects, she enjoys spending time with her son, Grayson, and husband, Steven, and is pretty much always covered in dog hair thanks to her two huskies, Kiya and Izzy.
