Core Services

Branding

We help companies define how they show up in the world—through strategy, identity, and a clear visual language that holds up everywhere it appears.

Photography

Photography that captures the real character of a brand—people, products, spaces, and the details that make them memorable.

Video
Production

Concept, production, and editing—handled start to finish. Video built for websites, campaigns, and social.

Graphic
Design

Design that supports the day-to-day needs of a growing brand—campaigns, packaging, websites, and everything in between.

Brands We’ve Helped

Meet The Team

Zachary Hagen

Founder, Creative Director

Zachary Hagen

Zachary is the founder of Hagen Creative and lives in Minneapolis with his wife and three daughters. A Midwesterner at heart and a designer trained in New York City, he combines a strong work ethic with a sharp eye for brand-driven creative.

Megan Mattison

Project Manager

Megan Mattison

Megan keeps the wheels on at Hagen Creative. Based in Minneapolis, she helps wrangle projects, timelines, and all the tiny details that make big creative work actually happen. She also has a sharp eye for art direction, a growing design/editing skillset, and the kind of passport history that makes the rest of us feel boring.

Nelson Liu

Graphic Designer

Nelson Liu

Nelson is a Taiwan-born, Minneapolis-trained designer and illustrator. At Hagen Creative, he brings range, taste, and a distinct POV to projects. On the side, he creates metal band posters while trying not to blast screaming music in our workspace.

Alex Samek

Director of VIdeo Production

Alex Samek

Alex has been with Hagen Creative since the early days, helping us grow from a small team into something that looks suspiciously like a real agency. He focuses on video production, editing, and motion graphics, and technically lives in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—but with how much he travels for shoots, he may or may not actually live anywhere.

Cassie B.

Designer & Production Creative

Cassie B.

Cassie is a multidisciplinary artist bringing a broad range of skills to the Hagen team. These skills include graphic design, illustration and is currently building her photography portfolio. She loves any opportunity to be hands on and bring ideas into the 3D.

Samuel Hoefler

Senior brand designer

Samuel Hoefler

Sam is an artist and designer based in Chicago. He is a powerhouse creative with a keen visual instinct and focus in concept-driven design. He builds identities and campaigns that feel fresh, intentional, and creatively inspired.
