WHO 
WE ARE

At Our Living Design Studio, we blend ancient wisdom with future-driven innovation to craft meaningful brands, empowered businesses, and iconic digital experiences that leave a lasting impact on global audiences.

We work with individuals, founders, start-ups, teams, established companies, and organizations to help them create a future worth inhabiting -through their projects, and for our planet.

Our Living Design Studio (OLDS) was co-founded by Aliko Weste and Rachel Taylor in 2023.

The studio’s roots trace back to 2017, when it began as Well ’n Green Digital Marketing. In 2020, it evolved into U Productions, and over the years, it has grown and transformed into the vibrant, forward-thinking design studio it is today.

In the nine years since its founding, OLDS has collaborated on and built over 200 websites and brands, cultivated a global network with global reach, and grown into a tight-knit team of creators, thinkers, and visionaries.

We’re energized by what’s ahead for our world, for our team and the bold, inspiring work we have committed ourselves to. 

Our Story

HOW WE

Our PHILOSPHY

At Our Living Design Studio, we believe your business will ask a new version of yourself.
 

Building or revitalizing a brand means engaging with deeper questions - who you are, what you value, who you serve, and the future you’re here to create. The work isn’t only about delivering a beautiful brand or website; it’s about who you become through the process.
 

Art, design, and aesthetics sit at the center of human psychology and connection. They shape how we feel, how we understand, and how we relate - often before words ever enter the conversation.
 

Thoughtful branding communicates on a psychological level, using the preverbal language of art and design to create resonance and trust. When you build a brand, you’re building a container - for your vision, for your audience, and for how your work moves through the world.
 

We approach this work as both creative and deeply human. Through collaboration, curiosity, and care, we help you clarify how you function, what you stand for, and how your brand can hold the future you’re stepping into.
