HELLO!
I’m Justin, and Ofsky is my creative studio where all my creative passions come together. I work with bands, event organizers, small businesses, and organizations to bring ideas to life through posters, merch, branding, video, and anything that needs a bold, honest voice.
I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. I grew up an army brat, moving around to different places which gave me an early appreciation for new environments, perspectives, and ways of seeing the world. In high school I was printing T-shirts in my parents’ basement, and even before that I was running around with a camcorder making movies with my best friend. That same friend and I eventually started a screen printing and embroidery shop in Hampden after graduating from Towson University in 2012 (Momentum Printing and Embroidery). We played in bands, created music videos, and printed for all kinds of local businesses and creative projects.
After more than a decade of building businesses and working on creative projects with others, I felt ready to focus more on my own voice and instincts. I was proud of the work, but I wanted to create something that felt fully mine. That’s how Ofsky (and Ostrology Music, my solo music project) was born. I love working with people who are building something of their own—artists, creatives, small businesses, and organizations figuring things out and making things happen. Experiences over the years, including recovering from a basilar artery stroke earlier this year, have deepened that perspective and made me more intentional about the work I create and the people I collaborate with.
These days I live in Frederick County with my wife and our two-year-old son, who is wild, loud, and definitely running the show.
If you’re working on an idea and need a creative partner,
I’d love to hear from you!

COMMUNITY
Every band, brand, and business is showing up for a community, and I see my work as part of that bigger picture. I love being surrounded by people who are chasing what they care about and trying to make something real. Every project I take on is a way to support that energy.
AUTHENTICITY
I’m not into trends or fluff. I care about making things that feel honest and actually reflect the people behind it. Whether it's a logo, a video, or a screen-printed shirt, I want the work to feel like you. The weird, gritty, beautiful parts of your story are what make your project worth doing in the first place. That’s what I try to capture.
IMPACT
Design shouldn’t just look good, it should do something. It should stick with people, say something, help move the needle. I want my work to help someone sell a record, pack out a show, or finally feel seen. If it doesn’t connect or leave some kind of mark, what’s the point?
