Travel and storytelling are two concepts we hold close to our hearts here in the studio. With a month of travel headed our way, it felt fitting for this Beyond The Brand interview to come to life. We’re honored to welcome Annika Bielig Bussmann, founder of SOULBASE magazine, an independent, interview-style lifestyle magazine featuring creatives […]

When I first started Lāer, a lot of things felt clunky. I was learning through trial and error every day, and using so many different tools to accomplish one goal—client management. I was invoicing my clients on some free platform I’d found that had wonky designs and was limited to its singular function. My contracts […]

Hello again, friend.  It feels like it’s been a whirlwind here at the studio these past few months–juggling exciting client projects, diving into our newest studio offering The Studio Hour, and, well, navigating the delightful chaos that comes with running this busy story house. Amidst the busyness, our beloved Above The Fold blog may have […]

*Deep inhale.*  Ahhh…that spring air is rolling through and bringing with it earthy scents of mulch, new life, flowering trees, and an invitation to spend more time outside. It’s no wonder April is Earth Month and sustainability is top of mind. We imagine everyone is welcoming that spring invitation with open arms, ready to get […]

November is upon us, and this month comes with an important reminder.  Yes, to give thanks, but also…to give back.  How can we make our actions, spending choices, and business plans have a bigger impact on the good in the world? This was the question on our Studio’s mind as the holiday season began rolling […]

This month, the studio has been reflecting on what it means to work your way. And, sometimes, the only way to really work your way is to create your own business. So, it seems fitting that we speak with Lisa Hennessy of Fernweh, a creative studio located on the island of Kauai, HI., for this […]

In honor of back to school (maybe it’s all of the email campaigns we’ve been writing for our clients), we’re looking at how we approach going back into work.
