01 / THE STUDIO

PRONOUNCED “GOO-EY".”

GJI Studio logo featuring a stylized white ghost and bold white lettering on a black background

An Artist’s curiosity.
A Designer’s sense of purpose.

Thoughtful design.
A playful spirit.
Something that sticks.

GUI Studio brings branding, websites, illustration, and animation together to help good ideas find their people.

Behind the studio is Kamron McCarthy—an artist and designer who loves figuring out what an idea could become.

A logo can become a brand. A character can become an icon. A website can become a business.

We create with that next chapter in mind, making work that feels like you and has room to grow.

03 / HOW WE MOVE FORWARD

THE OODA LOOP

Stay curious.
Keep making it better.

01 / OBSERVE

Start by listening.

Your goals, your audience, and what’s happening around them. A good question is a good place to begin.

02 / ORIENT

Find the opportunity.

Put what we learn into context. What’s working, what’s changed, and where could this go?

03 / DECIDE

Choose a direction.

Focus on the ideas that make the work clearer, stronger, and more useful.

04 / ACT

Bring it to life.

Design, build, launch, and learn. What happens next gives us somewhere to begin again.

HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND?

A message to share? A business to build?
Something wonderfully hard to explain?
We’d love to hear what you’re thinking.

Your idea.
Our next adventure.
