ABOUT THE STUDIO
Built by a creative who got tired of watching brands settle.
Artistry Studios is a creative production studio founded by Ashlee Nicole — a St. Louis-born, but Dallas-based creative with 15+ years of experience building brands that don't just look good. They function.
We've worked with independent founders building from zero and production teams at Paramount supporting BET, BET+, and VH1. We've launched brands that became household names in their niches. And we've done it with a process that keeps clients out of creative chaos and in forward motion.
The goal has never been to just make things look good.
It's to make creative work function.
IS ARTISTRY STUDIOS THE RIGHT CREATIVE PARTNER FOR YOU?
We do our best work with:
Founders who are ready to invest in their brand — not just get a logo. Businesses that have something real to say and need a creative partner who can say it visually. Mission-driven people who care about why they built what they built, not just how it looks.
Black-owned brands, faith-forward entrepreneurs, and service providers who are done blending in and ready to be unmistakable.
We're probably not the right fit if:
You need something done tomorrow. You're not sure what you want yet. You're looking for the cheapest option. You want to hand everything off and disappear — our process works because you're in it with us.
If you're somewhere in between — apply anyway.
The call will tell us both what we need to know.

HOW IT WORKS | GETTING STARTED
No mystery. No chaos. Just a process that works.
Most small businesses have been burned by hiring freelance graphic designers. Ghost designers. Missed deadlines. Files you can't access. A logo that doesn't match anything else. Money spent and nothing to show for it — or worse, something to show for it that doesn't actually represent you.
I know this story well. And honestly? Early in my career, I contributed to it. Not out of bad intentions — but because systems take time to build, and I was figuring it out like everyone else.
That experience changed how I work.

Files delivered, everything documented, and you walk away with everything you need.
When a client hands me their brand, they're not just handing me a design project. They're handing me something they've been building — sometimes for years — something that carries their name, their vision, their livelihood. I'm an Auntie and a Godmom to my core, and I take that kind of trust the exact same way. You don't hand someone your baby and just hope for the best. And I don't treat it that way either.
That's why every project at Artistry Studios runs through a real process — not vibes, not "I'll get to it," not a Canva file dropped in your DMs with a prayer. A structured, collaborative process where you always know what's happening, what's next, and what you'll walk away with.
The work speaks. Here's proof.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely. Most of our clients are remote. Brand and web design happens digitally — all you need is a good WiFi connection and a vision.
-
Our Brand Sprint starts with logo, color palette, typography, and a brand guide — so yes, but we build it as a system, not a single file. A logo without a brand behind it is just a pretty picture.
-
All projects require a signed contract and deposit to lock your spot. Larger projects are broken into milestone-based payments so you're never hit with one large invoice at the end.
-
Generally, yes! Bring it up on your Good Fit Call, and we'll figure out what works.
-
We take on a limited number of projects each quarter to make sure every client gets our full attention. We’ll list current availability at the top of this page. If we're full, you can still apply — we'll add you to the waitlist.
-
Not as much as you think. You'll complete an onboarding questionnaire after booking that covers everything we need. If you have existing brand assets, have those handy. If you're starting from scratch, that's fine too.
-
Reach out anyway. Some of our best projects started as "I have this idea but I don't know what to call it." If it's creative and it's purposeful, we want to hear it.
-
You get organized, print-and-web-ready files, documented brand guidelines, platform access (where applicable), and a handoff call so you actually know how to use everything we built. You will not be left with just a Dropbox folder and good wishes.
