Team
Principal care + expert craft
Small by design. Expansive when the work requires it.
Every engagement is led by Logan Acton or Anupama Gowda, keeping inquiry, strategy, and creative direction connected. A trusted network of collaborators joins when specialized expertise can strengthen the work—giving clients senior attention without the overhead or distance of a large agency.
How the practice assembles
One accountable lead. The right expertise.
01
Consistent strategic lead
One senior point of accountability from inquiry through implementation.
02
Specialists added intentionally
Additional expertise joins only when it materially strengthens the work.
03
Direct collaboration throughout
Clients work with the people responsible for the thinking and the making.
The people leading the process
Senior attention stays close to the work.
You always know who is leading, who is contributing, and why they are there. The structure can grow with the assignment while accountability remains clear.
STRATEGY + CREATIVE DIRECTION
Logan Hamilton Acton
Co-founder & Principal
Logan leads inquiry, strategy, creative direction, and the integration of each engagement. His practice brings together art, teaching, information design, and digital experience to help organizations find the structure beneath complicated problems, carrying that thinking into language, identity, systems, and useful public experiences.
BACKGROUND | PhD in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication and MA in Aesthetic Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas; MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
INNOVATION + FACILITATION
Anupama Gowda
Principal
Anu leads design research and systems inquiry, helping organizations understand the forces, relationships, and assumptions shaping complex innovation environments. Her practice draws on two decades across startups, research, industry, public institutions, and communities to find patterns within ambiguity, align different ways of knowing, and shape insights into strategies, programs, and systems that can be tested and carried into practice.
BACKGROUND | PhD in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication from the University of Texas at Dallas.
EDITORIAL + EXPERIENCE
Meghan Skevington
Co-founder & Advisor
Meghan brings a background in college instruction, magazine editorial, photography, and experience design to the practice. As co-founder and advisor, she helps preserve the care, empathy, and attention to lived experience that have shaped Argot Nots from the beginning.
BACKGROUND | Double major in Photography and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute.
A Flexible Practice
A team shaped to the challenge.
Argot Nots remains intentionally lean. The work begins with the problem, then adds only the expertise required to address it well—without unnecessary layers, handoffs, or agency overhead.
01
Principal-led core
One senior point of accountability connects inquiry, strategy, creative direction, and implementation.
02
Specialist network
Researchers, writers, developers, fabricators, photographers, and other partners join when their expertise materially improves the work.
03
One working system
Everyone works from the same organizing idea, so added expertise creates depth without fragmenting the experience.
Collaboration made clear
Every collaborator is introduced by name and role before work begins. As the permanent team grows, this structure expands without changing how clients experience the practice.
START WITH THE CHALLENGE, NOT A PRESET TEAM.
Let’s assemble the right way forward.
We will help clarify the problem, identify the expertise it requires, and keep the work connected from beginning to end.
