Avec
We’ve been working designed, built and launched a refreshed site for Span, the AI-native developer intelligence platform. Along the way, we developed a refined color palette and visual ethos behind their key brand idea, the Horizon.

Our Services
Typical brand and web projects run 6–12 weeks, ranging from $40k–$100k, though we're open to options or contingent structures for the right seed and pre-seed founders. As a micro studio, we typically book new clients 1–2 months in advance.
Brand Sprint
6-week sprints designed to bring a brand together from the ground up quickly, with a small list of outputs.
Brand Identity
8-12 week brand engagements designed to bring a brand together from the ground up, with a small list of outputs.
Web + Build
Timelines vary here — we launch everything from campaign landing pages to full blown websites.

Before the studio, I spent years in-house at early-stage companies like Loom, Intercom and Figma, building brands from the inside.
We are small by design. We're able to take on very little work in a year — usually 1-2 projects at a time. No account layers, no handoffs to a team you've never met. When you hire Studio Jud, you get me, and the collaborators I trust, working the problem directly.
Recent and ongoing work includes Span, OpenAI, Figma, and Avec. The studio's best fits are early-stage founders, small consumer brands, and cultural organizations — people with a clear point of view who want a peer in the room, not a vendor.
If you're building something and the surface matters as much as the substance, I'd like to hear about it.
