Savannah DeGraaf
Savannah DeGraaf brings more than 10 years of marketing experience to O-A-K, with a focus on storytelling, brand, and meaningful connection. Prior to O-A-K, she spent several years working in commercial real estate marketing, including helping market the building that would later become O-A-K’s headquarters at 126 Ottawa.
At O-A-K, Savannah works alongside teams across the company to support brand, communications, and digital efforts, helping tell the stories behind the people and projects that shape the work.
When did you realize this was the industry for you?
I realized it when I started working alongside our teams and school clients and saw how much collaboration, care, and purpose goes into every project. Being part of work that helps create safe, welcoming spaces for students to learn and grow made it meaningful. Seeing those projects come to life and knowing they will impact kids, teachers, and communities for years really confirmed this was the industry for me.
What do you do in your free time?
I like to spend as much of my free time outdoors as possible, whether it’s by the water or out hiking. I also spend most of my days chasing our one-year-old around, which is an adventure in itself.
