We launch brands – and grow with them as they soar. We work with the world’s next biggest startups to kickstart their brand through content & design.

BRANDS, MEET YOUR MAKER.

Hi, we’re Aimee & Lu. We know founders have big visions – we help them create a brand to match.

For years, friends and clients came to us looking for help with their brand. Often, they weren’t ready to hire an in-house creative team, but they also didn’t want to juggle independent freelancers or deal with an agency where they would be one of many clients.

They saw huge value in bringing on a content-and-design duo who could work together efficiently to get the job done. A small, specialized team who would really understand their needs, and then deliver. No micromanaging. No excuses. No BS.
