JJ AcklesLong GameGood to know
A few things founders and marketing leads ask most.
Brand identities and refreshes, marketing sites, launch campaigns, motion and video, and product UI support. Project based or on a monthly retainer, whichever fits the work.
Range plus speed. Lo Studio runs the full creative stack: brand, web, product UI, motion, video and go to market. For an early team, that means one studio covering what would otherwise take five vendors, and the quality stays high.
My specialty is marketing and brand design. I love supporting creative for GTM teams — that's where I do my best work. I also partner closely with product design to help shape and optimize UI/UX when teams need it.
Yes. I work with engineering to implement designs and optimize UI/UX across web, tablet and mobile. I'm also comfortable with visual editors and vibe coding tools, so I can deploy things myself when that's the faster path.
