OUR STORY

Same coop. Bigger ideas.

A few turning points along the way, from a small table to a studio full of good people.

2024 / THE BEGINNING

Started with an idea and not much else.

Chicken Dinner Studios began as a handful of friends with more curiosity than budget and a simple belief: good design doesn't have to take itself too seriously to be great. That belief still runs the coop today.

2025 / BUILDING THE STUDIO

We needed more chairs.

As the work grew, so did the flock. Motion, illustration, digital and strategy joined the mix, and what started as a handful of friends became a studio built to move as one.

2026 / EXPANDING OUR TEAM

More hands, more ideas, same energy.

We brought in more specialists and more collaborators, but held onto the close-knit feel that got us here in the first place. Bigger flock, same coop.

NOW / LOOKING AHEAD

Still building. Still hungry.

What's next is more of what got us here: meaningful brands, good people, and room at the table for whoever's ready to do the work.

THE WAY WE WORK

Big wins need good company.

The habits that shape how we think, work, and show up for every project.

01 / STAY HONEST

Partnership over performance.

No inflated pitches, no vague feedback. Just straight opinions, real listening, and respect for whoever's across from us.

02 / STAY CURIOUS

Curiosity does the heavy lifting.

We ask better questions, test unlikely paths and keep looking until the work feels simple on purpose.

03 / MOVE TOGETHER

Progress beats meetings.

The best creative partnership feels active. We work in the open, make decisions and keep the good energy moving.

04 / STAY HUMAN

Good work for people by people.

Our process is ambitious but never generic. Real people, real thinking, and room for a little personality. 😜

Chicken Dinner Studios is a design partner for teams who prefer the work to feel as good as it performs. Most creative work fails quietly. Not because the idea was bad, but because nobody in the room was willing to say so before it shipped. We are. 

You can tell when a team actually cared. It's in the small decisions nobody asked for. Like a meal made from scratch instead of reheated. It just tastes better.  

We work best with people who want that kind of partnership, not just one-off deliverables. If that's the kind of partner you're looking for, let's talk.
