What Studio AM does

Studio AM (Studio AM, Inc.) is a privately held, founder-owned digital agency founded in 2015 and based in Los Angeles/Glendale, California, operating with 11-50 employees under founder and CEO Arevik Gasparyan. The company delivers work across four service pillars: Branding & Design, Digital Media & Web Development, Marketing, and Accessibility/ADA Compliance, serving primarily SMB clients and startups including named engagements with Waggon, Astra Cosmetics, and Silverwood Properties.

The company's core deliverables span identity and visual systems, performance-driven web builds using a modern stack (Astro, React, headless CMS, Shopify, Klaviyo, Customer.io, HubSpot), marketing campaigns (including SEO and newer generative-engine optimization for AI search), and ADA/accessibility remediation services. In May 2026 Studio AM launched Harmny, an AI-powered performance management SaaS platform, marking its first productized software offering and an extension beyond agency services.

Revenue mechanics combine project-based engagements priced from $2,500 to $50,000+ with monthly subscription retainers from $500 to $12,000. The company is bootstrapped, has completed 250+ projects since inception, and carries a 5.0-star aggregate rating across Google (19 reviews) and Yelp (9 reviews). The go-to-market is founder-led, supplemented by self-service lead-magnet tools (free ADA Compliance Check, Project Planner intake) that broaden top-of-funnel reach beyond direct referral sales.

Core offering

Studio AM is a Los Angeles-based creative agency that delivers branding and visual identity design, web development and e-commerce, digital marketing (SEO, content, social, email), and ADA/WCAG accessibility services to businesses. It also operates Harmny, an internally built AI-powered performance management SaaS platform for growing teams.

Product overview

Studio AM is a Los Angeles-based design, branding, and digital agency offering four main service pillars: Branding & Design (logo, visual identity, brand strategy, print/packaging), Digital Media (web development, e-commerce, CRO, product/platform development), Marketing (SEO/GEO, content, social media, email/automation), and Accessibility & ADA services (compliance checks, audits, remediation, lawsuit defense). The agency also operates Harmny (harmny.ai), its own AI-powered SaaS product—a performance management platform for growing teams that consolidates performance reviews, OKRs, 1:1 meetings, career development, recognition, and HR operations.
