About Us
Codex Studios is a branding and communications agency. We help small businesses, organizations, and content creators tell real stories that resonate with real people. We do this primarily through two avenues: narrative design and content production.

Our Values
People Come First
Everything that we do—from websites to hardware installs to writing copy for an email—affects real people. Technology is wonderful, but only if it actually serves people. That’s why we always start our projects by considering about the people involved, and then we design solutions that will serve them best.
Voracious Curiosity
Curiosity propels us to ask important questions and seek better and better solutions. We love learning about our clients’ businesses, challenges, and dreams so we can help them challenge the status quo. We’re not afraid to ask the seemingly obvious questions, and we’re humble enough to admit when we don’t know the answers. And when we don’t know something we conduct the necessary research find out.
Design for Longevity
Good design lasts. In a world that prizes the new and the trendy, we choose timelessness. We believe in crafting intentional strategies and solutions that stand the test of time. We’re always looking ahead to the future so we can help you make the best decisions for tomorrow, today.
Honesty Never Goes Out of Style
Telling the truth is great business. When you tell the truth, your customers respect and trust you. It also turns out that they’re more forgiving of your mistakes. That’s why we work hard to help you amplify the most authentic and impactful aspects of your brand.
