By Founders.
Studio Lu is an all-in-one Strategic Design Partner for high-growth founders building unified brands and products.
Bring it all together
World-Class Apps
Industry-defining apps for any platform imaginable.
We don’t just do iOS and Android. We’ve designed massive SaaS web apps, social media apps, video platforms, CMS, marketplaces, TV apps (Roku, iPadOS, AndroidTV, AppleTV ) and more that are used by millions.
Design Acceleration
Team sprints that fast-forward full-stack design and strategy.
Founders love our sessions because we are founders that understand how to solve the hardest startup problems and build functional launchpads for every design vector. We come alongside you to solve team dissonance and design quagmires while building bespoke, scrappy strategy and resources to make it happen.
Handcrafted Brands
Brand, marketing and PR for humans.
Trust us- we’ve hired, fired and worked for and with countless PR and marketing agencies. That’s why we do the work to cultivate a bespoke, lean and specific strategy married with beautiful, world class visuals for humans. No AI here.
Why Founders Choose Studio Lu
We understand the endless dynamics and pain points of launching, growing and pivoting- and we love it. That’s why we focus on what’s actually important to founders:
Trust
We know the nitty-gritty of what works and what doesn’t in startup design. But when 💩 hits the fan, the people who are with you matter even more. We not only have what it takes to ship, we have the integrity and experience to weather ambiguity and run alongside you.
Care
We not only empathize with your hustle, but we care about what you’re building. That’s why we are dedicated to cultivating trusted partnerships, industry-defining apps, meaningfully beautiful brands and teams with unmatched culture.
Speed
Good or fast? With Studio Lu you don’t have to choose. When you have a strategic partner that intimately knows your world and executes shippable world-class creative design, good things happen fast.
