Facilitating collaboration between brands and creators.
Designing at the intersection of product and brand by building systems and experiences that are rooted in transparency for creators and brands who crave collaboration.
How can we encourage this taking action more, especially as our mighty little studio grows? A big way is to celebrate the person who took action. Celebrate their inner-child. When we celebrate, we reflect on what went well and give gratitude. It motivates us, and rubs off onto others. It’s contagious.

Meet the four-legged members of the Pet Department!
A perk of being a fully remote studio is that we get to spend more time with our furry coworkers! Whether it's napping in the cutest position possible, or asking for attention in the middle of a Zoom meeting, they always know how to brighten our days. Our Pet Department has its own Slack channel (for very important business conversations), but we wanted to share their cuteness for the rest of the world to enjoy.
An ever growing discovery engine to hold all the incredible creations we come across as a virtual studio.
What could easily be seen as a distraction, we like to see as inspiration. So we took a whole week to let our squirrel flag fly and the result was SQURL; an ever growing discovery engine to hold all the incredible things we come across as a virtual studio, for anyone to browse.
a small studio’s first retreat! Together we reflected on what it means to bring peace.
This retreat is where the whole studio meets up, hangs out, talks shop, and most importantly, connects. As we are a remote studio - meaning everyone lives and works in a different city - this retreat was crucial, as most of us had never met in person!
What are the key building blocks of a small studio?
At a small studio, we utilize several essential departments and processes to help with the everyday ebb and flow of our work. We rely on these building blocks to deliver on our clients' vision and build lasting relationships. These areas all work together and support each other so that we’re able to bring peace to our clients and creatives.

Making data centers more accessible and actionable for remote managers and digital natives.
Let’s face it, data centers are complicated. They’re massive buildings full of biometric security, cabinets stuffed with servers, and an endless map of wires & cables, all of which requires triple-backed up power grids and up-to-the-minute temperature control. (exhale)
Amidst one of the largest political awakenings, we paused all normal business operations to build DOSE.
DOSE is a platform built in less than a week to amplify the black experience. Amidst one of the largest political awakenings, we paused all normal business operations to take DOSE from idea to launch.
An ecosystem of online tools designed to amplify the process of discovery.
Consulting is no walk in the park. Meeting clients, hosting presentations, conducting surveys, preparing reports, and being looked on to solve big organizational problems is stressful and time-consuming.
Connecting salon & barbershop owners with all beauty professionals.

Innovative solutions to an industry blindspot, ShearShare's one-of-a-kind mobile app needed a one-of-a-kind Identity and experience. Together, we were asked to reimagine who ShearShare is, in order to redesign the platform that is redefining the beauty industry.
We’ve been operating as a Remote studio since 2020 and this is what we've found works.
We’ve been operating as a remote studio since 2020. When everyone went home to work at the beginning of COVID, it just kind of worked, so we stuck with it. We’ve learned a lot along the way and we’ve made countless changes to the way we work.
In fact, our Notion was like a process inception that explained everything we do, everything we want to do and every blue sky thought we ever had about what we want to do that it was both inspiring and demoralizing.
We used to have a lot of meetings. I think it may have been the growing pains of moving to a remote studio and the pressure of trying to maintain a collaborative and social atmosphere while virtual.
We all have different methods for tapping into our productivity.
For me, music is an essential part of my workflow. I’ve tried all the “classics”: Lo-fi Beats to Study To, ambient nature sounds, five hour-long YouTube videos of white noise that sounds like a broken TV from the 80s.
