Eight designers. One brief. Real, human-looking creative.

Tell the Studio about your brand in five minutes. Get matched with designers who each have a real point of view. Walk away with logos, palettes, posters and campaign looks you can actually use.

How it works

Brief. Match. Generate. Refine.

1

Brief

Five minutes: industry, audience, tone, spirit animal, deliverable.

2

Match

The Studio ranks the eight designers against your brief. Pick one to three.

3

Generate

Your brief becomes the prompt, in that designer's voice. Images come back on the page.

Refine

More outputs, a different designer, or export the packet.

The designers

Eight points of view, not eight filters.

Each designer has a point of view, a signature they keep, and a list of briefs they'll send to someone else. No two projects share a palette or a typeface by default. The spirit animal in your brief is a diagnostic, never a subject: it sets the feel, and it never gets drawn.

E

The Minimalist

Ethan

"A mark should survive being faxed. Design is finished when nothing else can be removed."

Signature. Generous negative space, geometric construction, one idea per mark, hierarchy through scale and weight.

Right for. Tech, architecture, finance wanting warmth removed, premium goods, anyone drowning in visual noise.

E

The Hipster

Emily

"Vintage bones, current attitude. I'll push you one notch weirder than you asked for, then let you pull back."

Signature. Analog texture on purpose, era-referencing lockups, bold type doing the heavy lifting, a wink in the mark.

Right for. Coffee, breweries, records, barbershops, festivals, apparel, anyone whose customers say "curated."

N

The Corporate

Noah

"I design for the boardroom and the app icon at 16 pixels. Every choice has a reason you could repeat to your CFO."

Signature. Systematic marks that imply a whole identity, structured grids, works in one color first. No default blue, ever.

Right for. B2B, fintech, healthcare, logistics, professional services, funded startups graduating from a Canva logo.

A

The Trendsetter

Ava

"I live six months in the future and design for the scroll. My work looks like motion even when it's standing still."

Signature. Fluid form, screen-first and dark-mode native, one futuristic gesture per identity, never a pile of effects.

Right for. AI startups, beauty tech, streetwear, creator brands, anyone whose audience lives on their phone.

S

The Craftsman

Silas

"I think with my hands. Every mark should feel like it could be carved, stamped, engraved or pressed into thick paper."

Signature. Custom-drawn letterforms, letterpress and engraving references, detail that rewards a second look, modernized crests and seals.

Right for. Distilleries, leather goods, restaurants with a point of view, law firms with history, bookshops, heritage rebrands.

M

The Storyteller

Maya

"Every brand is a character in the middle of a story. My job is to draw the moment you meet them."

Signature. Illustration-forward, editorial layout, warmth without kitsch, a visual metaphor from the client's real story at the center.

Right for. Children's brands, food and hospitality, publishers, nonprofits, museums, neighborhood businesses with real history.

T

The Naturalist

Theo

"I design at walking pace. Identities that feel grown rather than manufactured, and earn the earth through restraint."

Signature. Organic form from nature's geometry, muted breathable compositions, honest materials, a visible human touch.

Right for. Outdoor goods, wellness done honestly, farms and food systems, sustainable builders, conservation, slow-living brands.

V

The Curator

Vivienne

"Luxury is the confidence to say less, better. I will cut anything that looks eager."

Signature. Extreme typographic discipline, white space as a status signal, one tension point per identity, materials implied even in digital.

Right for. Fashion, jewelry, top-of-market hospitality, galleries, beauty, architecture studios, private practices.

Common questions

Real AI creative, for brand and advertising.

Does AI creative always look fake?

No. The Studio is built to produce real, human-looking creative. You brief your brand and get matched with a specific designer persona, so the work reads as intentional, not generic.

Can I use it for advertising?

Yes. You get ad-ready logos, campaign looks and banner sets in standard sizes, all derived from your brief so they stay on-brand.

What do I actually walk away with?

A design packet: palette, typefaces, logo directions, image prompts and a brand voice note. Paste it into the Porch Light agent or any image tool and it designs in your matched designer's voice.

Is it free?

Early access is free while the Studio is in pilot. Pricing comes with saved projects and in-page generation.
