about – Studio Visual Thinking

We are a full service content studio + creative school
for rock star small businesses & brands.

We take the work seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.

Dana will probably want to add more drama to your brand. Anastasiia will probably want to make it slightly provocative. Somewhere between the two, we’ll figure out what actually works for you.

We like movies. We make movies. We reference movies in meetings that have absolutely nothing to do with movies. We also believe in doing things on time, making them as good as humanly possible, and, if we’re being completely transparent, we thrive on validation and we like praise.

When you tell us you love something, we will work alarmingly hard to make the next thing even better.

More than anything, we believe work should be fun.

Creating things should be fun. Working with people should be fun. What we make should bring people joy, make them feel something. And whatever we put into the world should be made with care, curiosity, and a whole lot of love. Because otherwise, what’s the point?

We get it. You want credentials.

Anastasiia:
BS Marketing Robert H. Smith School of Business @ University of Maryland
MFA in Film & Media Production @ American University

Dana:
Bachelors in Film Directing @ Moscow State University
MBA @ Johns Hopkins Carey Business School

Together, we directed & produced Not in the Public Interest, a short documentary on PBS, and screened our films at major film festivals. From small businesses and startups to Johns Hopkins, Amazon, University of Maryland, Hays, we've created work for a whole bunch of interesting people doing interesting things.

So yes, we understand both worlds: the business world and the creative one. We know that "pretty" isn't enough if it doesn't accomplish anything, and strategy isn't worth much if nobody wants to look at it.
