The Studio 85 is a Black-owned creative studio where artistry and innovation collide. At our core is a love for digital and graphic design, conceptual storytelling, and striking illustration—tools we use to visually translate culture, identity, and imagination into bold, unforgettable design.
We don’t just make art—we build experiences. Our work fuses layered textures of the Black experience with thoughtful design language and modern technology. From meticulously crafted logos and brand identities to editorial illustrations and visionary concepts, everything we create is steeped in intention and visual poetry.
Here, design is more than aesthetic—it’s narrative. Each project we touch becomes a canvas for stories long overlooked, powered by both ancestral rhythm and futuristic vision. Whether it's a campaign, a cover, or a creative system, The Studio 85 designs with soul, symbolism, and edge.
