BIG IDEAS.
ONE STUDIO.

The music, the platform, and the brand behind Mike D's Nuts — plus the rest of the shelf.

FEATURED PROJECT / 01

MIKE DEEZ

MUSIC PRODUCTION / RECORDING / ARTIST DEVELOPMENT

Original music, written and produced here.

Songwriting, recording, and AI-assisted production — ukulele-driven, bass-heavy, and built one arrangement at a time. Plus everything around the sound: artist identity, cover artwork, music videos, and the release itself.

FEATURED PROJECT / 03

MIKE D'S NUTS

PRODUCT BRAND / BODY CARE / ECOMMERCE

Because nothing is too good for your girl.

A talc-free men's body-care line built as a whole brand system: three powders with genuinely different jobs, packaging that carries both the joke and the quality, a direct-to-consumer storefront, and a dealer program for shops, gyms, and outfitters.

MADE IN
JOSHUA TREE.

A working creative studio in Joshua Tree, California. Part music lab, part digital workshop, part home for ideas that don't fit neatly into one category. Grounded in the desert and connected to the world.

The network

THREE DOORS.
ONE PRACTICE.

Everything here is conceived, designed, and built by the same studio. Each site leads with its own thing — the music, the climbing, or the work itself — and each one points back to the others.
