We offer project-based creative consulting, campaign, & design services — from concepting to production — that maximize the potential of your unique vision.

Creative director and principal designer Juan Felipe Rendon (he/they) serves as your project lead, pulling from over a decade of professional experience with world-class companies including the film studio a24 and The Boston Consulting Group.

When needed, we pull from a network of east & west coast creatives, coordinating the right team of producers, photographers, stylists, designers, and coders. With our long-term collaborator Tonje Thilesen, past clients for our Photo campaigns include The New York Times, Art Basel, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Wired Magazine, Bon Appétit, and more.






Juan Felipe Rendon, Principal
Juan Felipe (he/they) began their distinguished career as a consultant and project manager for industry-leading companies, from The Boston Consulting Group to a24.

Expanding into more creative roles as a producer, designer, and creative director, their work immediately garnered critical acclaim. As the founder and creative force behind 'shocks of love', their brand won prestigious awards and was featured by such outlets as GQ, NY Magazine, Refinery29, Elle, Allure, The Dieline, Packaging of the World, and many more. The success of these design campaigns saw them take on freelance clientele, and subsequently, the formation of Dear Poison.

Having worked across Fortune 100 clients, start-ups, and now in small creative teams “on-the-ground”, Juan Felipe is proud to offer you a nimble approach that cuts the corporate bloat and delivers creatively responsive, process-informed work.
