Serenity Studios

What Serenity Studios does

Serenity Studios is a privately held, Portland, Oregon-based creative studio operating as an LLC since 2013. The firm delivers professional creative services — branding and brand strategy, web design and development, video and motion graphics, digital experience design, UX design, digital signage, and SEO strategy — executed as custom, quote-based engagements for mission-driven organizations across the Pacific Northwest and select national accounts. Clients span nonprofit foundations (M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, Morrison Child & Family Services), healthcare providers (OHSU, Providence Heart Institute), higher education institutions (University of Oregon, UC Berkeley), technology firms (HP, Salesforce), and government entities (NASA, Prosper Portland).

The studio's technology stack centers on Webflow CMS for website builds and the Intuiface experience platform for interactive touchscreen and video-wall installations. Notable technical work includes custom dynamic CMS architectures with relational content placement (e.g., automatic testimonial routing by attorney/service/office for a law firm) and configurable backend content management for museum and lobby installations that allow clients to update content independently. Digital experience work spans from 4K medical-center video walls to a 144-foot museum digital canvas, signaling capability beyond standard website production into physical-space interactive storytelling.

The business model is project-based professional services with custom scoping, multi-year contract cadence typical of complex institutional engagements, and a sales-led go-to-market motion relying on portfolio reputation, direct outreach, and referrals rather than self-serve or product-led acquisition. The core team consists of three named members (Founder/Creative Director, Lead Designer, EA/Account & Project Coordinator), supplemented by contracted specialists as required by project scope. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity, and has been recognized with the 2024 Clutch Top Companies award and two 2024 Summit International Awards.
