Team

The studio is headed up by design veteran, Brian Bjerketvedt. Over his 20+ year career, Brian has built a set of unique, multidisciplinary skills. A self-confessed type nerd with a naturally reductionist style and a strong belief in the power of quality and craft, Brian strives to tell digital stories with clarity and impact. 

How We Work

As a day-to-day office of one, Hybrid Studio runs lean and keeps overhead low. There are exceptions to this rule, (when we work with agencies) but typically we don't work alone. We build teams on a per project basis—working with other talented consultants and studios. The project's needs help shape the team—whether that's based on skills, experience or market knowledge, clients get a team built to deliver.

Who Hires Us
Businesses and Marketing Leaders
Businesses typically come to us when they are ready to show up in a new way or have a new product or service to launch. We'll define or clarify the problem needing to be solved and move forward with clarity and purpose. We can quickly scale up on a per project basis, tapping into our network to bring senior-level talent onboard for services such as web development and copywriting.
Start-Ups
Getting in on the ground floor to help shape a story or validate the viability of an idea is about as fun as it gets. We'll work at the appropriate speed and right level of fidelity based on where you are at and where you need to go.
Digital Product Owners
We can partner with technology teams to elevate a product's visual language while connecting it to a new or existing visual brand language. Our experience in UX/UI can help alleviate resource and budget constraints. We have experience building proof-of-concepts, prototypes, making iterative changes and delivering assets for launch. 
Agencies & In-House Departments
We can add depth to an existing creative team or engage as a trusted partner to consistently bring missing services in-house. Our experience working in traditional agency environments, working in-house and working as a consultants enables us to get up to speed quickly and hit the ground running. In short, there aren't too many situations we haven't seen. We live by a no ego and no bullshit mantra.
