A creative studio led by women, built on story, and designed for community.
We craft powerful brands, products, and experiences — and specialize in giving minority-owned businesses a voice.
We’re not an agency.
We’re so much more.
We are a creative studio, a founder’s cooperative, and a gathering space. We build bold brands, encourage brave ideas, and throw a damn good party while we’re at it.

Founder’s Cooperative
CHARM SCHOOL
Our reimagined approach to business incubation, rooted in reciprocity.
We partner with early-stage, underrepresented business founders to receive a full creative partnership.In exchange, we agree on a shared success benchmark. Once their business starts earning, a portion of that revenue is paid back into the cooperative fund, fueling support for the next founder. And the next. And the next.
It’s a sustainable, pay-it-forward loop of creative equity, designed to open doors for underrepresented founders and build long-term community wealth.
We support our Founder’s Cooperative Members with:
Brand strategy, identity, and other creative needs
Business mentoring & fundraising support
Use of The Garden co-working space
Connecting them to a network of business leaders and vendors
The Principals
We’re proudly a female, queer & BIPOC founded business.
