The Studio · early access

Come on in. The light's on.

Five minutes of honest answers about your business, and the front desk will match you with the right designer out of eight. Leave your name so we know who's on the porch.

Used to open access and follow up. Nothing else.
Step 1 of 4 · The brief

Tell us what you do, in your own words.

No design talk needed. Say it like you'd say it to a neighbor who asked.

Pick the one that matters most. Everything downstream is built to move people toward it.
Step 2 of 4 · Tone

How should it feel?

Pick up to three. If two of them argue with each other, that's fine, it tells us something.

Step 3 of 4 · Spirit animal

If your brand were an animal, which one?

Go with your gut. This is the fastest way we know to get past the words people think they're supposed to say.

Step 4 of 4 · Deliverable

What are we making first?

Start with one. The studio always gives you three distinct directions for it.

Your matches

The front desk read your brief. Here's who fits.

Percentages are fit, not quality. Every one of the eight is good; the question is who's right for this brief. Tap a card to meet the designer, then choose one and we'll write the packet.

Not feeling it? or and the ranking updates.

Handoff packet

Your brief, translated for the studio.

This is what the studio needs to start. Copy it, open the studio, paste it in as your first message. Come back any time and the floor will remember you.


      

Three moves and you're working

  1. Copy the packet. It carries the brief, your tone, your animal, the deliverable, and the designer we matched.
  2. Open Porch Light Studio. It runs in ChatGPT. Paste the packet as your first message.
  3. Ask for three directions. If none land, come back here, change one thing, and send a new packet. Or ask the studio for a runner-up designer by name.

The studio floor

Welcome back, friend.

Your brief is on the left. Your matches are here. The packet rewrites itself whenever you change your mind.


          
          

The front desk is being staffed.

Soon you'll be able to talk this through out loud: say what you do, argue about the tone, ask why Silas beat Ethan. The front desk will help you say it better and re-rank the room while you talk. It never designs; that stays in the studio.

Requires the hosted version (see notes). Until then, the rail on the left does the same job the slow way.
