About

  • Studio Founded is a creative studio and resource library exploring the art of brand world-building.
    We blend strategy, storytelling, and design to help founders and creatives build thoughtful, enduring brand worlds — through both commissioned studio work and self-led tools.

  • Our studio operates Monday - Friday, 9 am - 4 pm (GMT). We aim to reply within 24 hours, though during launch periods or periods of high volume, responses may take up to 72 hours.

  • We partner with More Trees to plant a tree for every order, in an ongoing gesture of care toward Mother Nature, supporting her as she sustains us.

Brand & Web Studio

  • Our studio offers creative direction and design for thoughtful, values-led brands. Services include brand strategy, visual identity, print and packaging, and website design and development.

    Copywriting, photography, and marketing are not handled in-house, but we collaborate with a trusted network of specialists to ensure each project feels cohesive and considered.

    Custom projects typically range from $3,500 - $20,000, depending on scope.

  • Absolutely. Collaboration is central to our work. We often partner with copywriters, photographers, and developers who share our values and aesthetic principles. Each project is curated to ensure harmony between concept and craft.

  • Website in a Week distills our studio process into a focused, five-day collaboration.

    Starting from a Studio Founded template, we tailor each page to your brand — refining layout, visuals, SEO, and narrative flow. By Friday, you’re live with a site that feels elevated, strategic, and complete.

    Your build includes the template license, installation, and five pages of design and development. Each project covers brand strategy, tailored template design, content population, essential SEO, custom CSS detailing, mobile and speed tuning, and hands-on launch support — followed by 30 days of post-launch email guidance.

  • A Designer Day is a focused, one-on-one session. We work exclusively on your brand or website for a full day (or half day), covering everything from visual updates to strategy.

    Each session is shaped to your goals.

    Possibilities include:
    • Refining or expanding your website
    • Designing new sections or pages
    • SEO and performance optimization
    • Visual polish or strategic layout updates
    • Pre-launch design reviews

    Spaces are limited, and we recommend booking in advance.
