Grand Jeté

What Grand Jeté does

Grand Jeté is a privately held, founder-led creative studio headquartered at 6525 Sunset Blvd. #401 in Los Angeles, California, operating under the direction of founder and creative director Howard Nourmand. The studio sells bespoke motion design, brand identity, and digital design services to enterprise buyers in entertainment, fashion/luxury, and hospitality, and operates a small direct-to-consumer e-commerce shop featuring studio merchandise and brand collaborations.

The studio's core offering is organized into three practice areas: Motion Design & Title Sequences, Brand Identity & Logo Design, and Digital Design, supplemented by sub-products including custom typeface development and film poster design. Motion work centers on opening title sequences for television series and films, with episode-variable title cards, mixed-media animation combining stop-motion, claymation, practical effects, and digital techniques, and custom typography. The brand identity practice builds custom logotypes, monogram systems, and full identity systems for luxury fashion brands (notably AMIRI and Stüssy) and hospitality operators (Call Mom). Project methodology is custom and engagement-based rather than productized or self-service.

The business model is B2B professional services sold through portfolio-driven reputation, industry press, and direct relationships, with project fees quoted on a custom basis and no public pricing. Revenue streams include title sequence design, brand identity systems, motion graphics, and merchandise sales via the Grand Jeté Shop (collaborations with Stüssy, AMIRI, and Lenny Letter). The customer roster spans HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, Peacock, CBS, BET, Freeform, Disney, Amazon Prime Video, Blumhouse, Oliver Stone Films, AMIRI, Stüssy, Bianca Chandon, and Tony Robbins Network. The studio has earned recognition through coverage in Fast Company, TIME, Hollywood Reporter, AIGA Eye on Design, Print Magazine, VICE, Applied Arts, and Art of the Title. No institutional investors, parent entity, funding rounds, or external ownership structure are disclosed; the company appears founder-controlled with no disclosed headcount beyond an active hiring signal.
