Actual Source was founded in 2015 by Davis Ngarupe (Cook Islands / USA) and JP Haynie (USA). The studio’s work focuses on strategy, creative direction, and design for visual identities, publications, websites, packaging, apparel, and physical spaces.

Recent commissions include a visual identity and showroom for French running brand SATISFY, design direction for Atmos Magazine, a book for The Outdoor Recreation Archive, and our ongoing publication and product work with A24.

In addition to studio practice, Actual Source operates as an editor, publisher, bookstore, and brand that collaborates with contemporary artists, designers, and writers to publish limited edition books, apparel, and objects. Recent collaborations include POPEYE Magazine, Stefan Marx, Uniqlo, Goldwin, BEAMS, thisisneverthat, and Nike.

Selected Actual Source publications are held in the library collection of the Museum of Modern Art (NY) and at the Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library at Yale University.
