  • Amir Aziz

    CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR | amir@onirus.agency

    Hello, I’m Amir.

    My background in photojournalism and art direction shapes my approach to human-centered storytelling. I specialize in creating visuals that highlight the connections between community, culture, and social impact through photography, cinematography, and design.

    My projects range from documenting social movements to serving as a Cinematographer on films and documentaries that celebrate art, culture, and resilience. As an Associate Art Director, I've contributed to multicultural campaigns for brands like Union Bank and YMCA while amplifying the stories of grassroots initiatives and non-profit organizations across California.

    When I’m not working, I enjoy road trips along the coast and capturing the essence of new places through photography.

  • Noor Layal Ihsan

    CO-FOUNDER & BRAND DIRECTOR | noorlayal@onirus.agency

    Hello there, I’m Noor 🥀

    My academic background in fine art, visual & critical studies, and psychology deeply inform my approach to finding the balance between beauty, artistry, and functionality within the realms of digital & visual communications.

    From 2020-2024, I worked as an independent Brand Strategist and Creative Director for small businesses & organizations within the arts & culture sector. Prior to that, I led the communications department of a hybrid workspace, art gallery, and event space in Oakland, CA.

    Outside of work, I can be found immersing myself within another realm through film or literature, caring for the creatures within my menagerie, or visiting locales listed on Atlas Obscura.

  • Jinn

    DIRECTOR OF MISCHIEF

    Hi there, I’m Jinn 👁️

    Since my promotion from Mayhem Manager, I’ve evolved past the day-to-day operations of the business and am grateful to spend most of my time sleeping and discovering new ways to be a good agent of chaos.

    I love chicken in all of its forms, world watching from my window seat, and Greenies treats.
