Lumber Studio — A One Stop Creative Shop.
Honest, hardworking, and grounded in good morals — I’m a creative partner who brings agency-level craft without huge overheads.
I’m Joe Taylor — an art director, designer, photographer and illustrator. Think of me as a lumberjack of all trades — I cut through creative challenges and carve ideas into reality.
With over a decade of experience in top agencies, I know what great work takes. Now, I offer that same expertise directly to brands — no middle layers, no inflated costs, just one-on-one collaboration with the person doing the work.
Whether you need direction, design, visuals, or illustration, I bring honest effort, sharp ideas, and a good dose of creative craft to every project.
