Cult Dept. is not a cult.
We’re a small creative studio that believes good design should inspire real devotion. We think your message should be persuasive, compelling, and magnetic. We work with other true believers to develop projects, programs, and products that people can have faith in.
Cult Dept. was founded in 2024 by Adam Sattler after years of building brands for other people — most recently as in-house Creative Director for a company managing multiple spirits and beer brands alongside a network of bars and restaurants. Today, we focus on visual identities, packaging, merchandise, signage, and interiors, working across industries including hospitality, food and drink, consumer brands, arts and culture, civic and public, and non-profits.
