— 02 —Mission

Every detail earns its place. Nothing here by default.

Noir Era is a digital design studio founded in Dallas, Texas in 2025 by Yaz and Dereck Scott, working with clients in Dallas and anywhere remote. If a detail can't justify itself, it doesn't ship.

01 / Contrast

Hierarchy has to work before a single image or accent gets added.

02 / Restraint

One type pairing. One material. Nothing on the page that isn't doing a job.

03 / Intent

No defaults. Every spacing, weight and break is a decision we can defend out loud.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does Noir Era do?

Noir Era is a digital design studio in Dallas, Texas. We work across seven disciplines: web design, logo design, branding, motion design, graphic design, creative direction, and SEO & paid ads — so a brand, its website and its campaigns can come from one studio instead of three vendors.

Do you only work with Dallas clients?

No. We're based in Dallas and meet local clients in person, but we work with clients anywhere remotely. Calls, reviews and handoff all happen online, so location doesn't change the process, the timeline or who you work with.

How long does a project take?

A logo typically takes 2–3 weeks, a full brand identity 4–6 weeks, and a website 6–10 weeks from discovery call to launch. Motion, creative direction and SEO & paid ads are scoped per deliverable or run as ongoing monthly work. You get a timeline before anything starts.

How is pricing handled?

Projects — websites, logos, brand identities, graphic design — are priced as a fixed quote agreed up front, so there's no hourly billing. Ongoing work like motion, creative direction and SEO & paid ads can run on a monthly retainer. Every engagement starts with a free first conversation.

Who will I actually work with?

The founders. Noir Era is Yaz Scott (client relations and creative direction) and Dereck Scott (design and development). The people who pitch the work are the people who make it — there are no account managers and no handoff to a junior team.

How do I start a project?

Email scott@noir-era.com or call (817) 883-1887 with a few lines about what you're building. We'll set up a first call, agree scope and a fixed quote or retainer, and give you a timeline before any work begins.
