Joshua Hughes
I started Hoot and a Holler because I care deeply about the craft of saying what you mean, and I wanted to put that to work for growing businesses and organizations.
As a creative lead, I’m hands on from the first conversation to final approval. I pride myself on making sure Hoot and a Holler helps you achieve your goals, and that we do it while being the kind of friendly partner you’re excited to work with.
Before Hoot and a Holler, I spent fifteen years shaping messages for national and Texas brands, mostly in energy and healthcare, plus other work where precision mattered. That’s where I learned to make every word earn its keep.

I’m a designer by trade, and a writer at heart. I’m also a true empath (as described by two separate licensed therapists!) I listen past the obvious and help shape work that feels clear and honest.
At Hoot and a Holler, I help growing businesses build a visual identity they can actually use. I care about outcomes, but I start by listening. I meet people wherever they are. It’s not a line. It’s how I work.
I’ve spent the last ten years shaping brands for organizations like CapMetro and Austin Transit Partnership. That work taught me that the details you get right are the ones that change results.
