Our story
Michael and Elizabeth bring a balance of creative storytelling and structure to everything that they produce at Poley Creative, connecting through craft, building with methodical order, and leaving space for whimsy beneath the surface, driven by a sense of future-looking nostalgia, by animating the latest innovations in nostalgic graphic styles.
Poley Creative is an educational agency built on the belief that learning should feel as good as it works. Co-owned by Michael Poley, a former video creative director at Treehouse and an English lit major who stumbled into production by making sketch comedy videos with his friends in textbook publishing, and Elizabeth Kozup, a project manager with experience at Disney and Treehouse whose librarian parents instilled an insatiable curiosity and obsession with clarity.

Creative Principles
Connect through craft
Our strongest connection with our audience is our pride in high-quality craft. This is also the most powerful promise we can make to our audience: by connecting our craft to yours, the things you build can connect with as many users as they deserve.
Whimsy just under the surface
Engineers are creatives. Our brand lives in this common ground by coming alive with moments of playfulness and sparks of collaborative interaction.
Future looking nostalgia
Our—and our audience’s—expertise in this space spans many generations of computing. When we imagine the future of technology, we tap into the comfort and clarity of the past to make the future feel more relatable and human.
Methodical order
Just as our audience builds their creations line by line, we rely on a crisp, methodical process in our own work. Through strong grids and practical simplicity, our brand can embody the intentional orderliness we value so highly.
