A small studio working on brand identity, digital products, and motion — for clients who'd rather build something with a point of view than chase what's already working.
/ 01 Capabilities
Most brand work is also a digital project. Most digital projects need motion. We do all three under one roof, by the same hands — no handoffs, no decks between phases.
Wordmarks, type systems, color, voice, and the visual language that holds it all together. Built to live across screens, print, and motion — not just look right in a deck.
Websites, product UI, and small app interfaces — designed with the identity, not after it. We design and engineer the build in-house so it actually ships the way you saw it.
The bits that move. Brand films, product walkthroughs, social cut-downs, interactive web animation — sometimes a 15-second loop does the work of a half-page paragraph.
Engagements are rarely just one of these. Most projects mix two or three — we’ll figure out the right shape together on a 30-min call.
/ 02 Pricing
Fixed price, fixed timeline, no upsells. Most clients land on Premium — that’s the package with the full identity refresh, motion accents, and structured SEO, and the one that does the most for cold traffic.

/ 03 Studio
Lvl8 Studio is three people working from a converted print-shop space in Detroit. We met in 2023 over a brand refresh that outgrew itself — and decided that’s how we wanted to work.
Founder & Creative Director
Started the studio after running brand at a Detroit motion shop. Spends her time on creative direction, brand strategy, and the parts of projects no one else wants to start.
Designer
Joined from a NYC product design studio in 2024. Identity-first thinker, quietly obsessed with type. Owns the brand and digital design output across most projects.
Developer
Engineering-focused. Builds the work in-house — websites, motion, and the small interactive bits that hold the brand together on screen. Cares deeply about page weight.
