Dynamo What?

DYNAMO: A POWERFUL FORCE ULTIMA: THE VERY BEST OF ITS KIND

Designing epic, creative experiences that evoke emotion + send a powerful message

SO, WHAT HAPPENED AFTER SCHOOL?

We realized real damn quick the corporate design world wasn’t for us.

Our visions didn’t fit within a box so we burned that shit down and built something new.

Together, we created State of Mind Studio + began offering creative services to entrepreneurs (videography, designs, websites...all the things). The work was dope, but something still felt too traditional...so we sold our belongings, bought a van, and hit the road. 

BREAKING NORMS + TAKING NAMES

What’s up! We’re Lexi + Cody—the duo behind Dynamo Ultima. We’re here to shake sh*t up in the design world + empower you to break the rules and carve your own path. 

Because there’s nothing creative about coloring in the lines. 

Our offbeat story starts a decade ago, when two adventurous souls collided and began making magic out of any medium they could find: canvas, photography, digital—you name it. 

Taking our adventure on the road, we headed to Portland State for some serious education + experience. Know nothing about Portland State? It’s where art junkies + mad hippies like us thrive and fine-tune our creative obsessions. Oh, and it’s one of the top 5 design programs in the nation, nbd. Here’s what we left with:

Lexi—Graphic Design Major

Cody—Film Major + Graphic Design Minor

WHEELS UP, IT’S GOING DOWN

Inside our solar-powered creative studio, we…

  • Created Dynamo Ultima and began offering kickass design services for some of the world’s boldest, unapologetic brands 

  • Partnered with innovative companies to create quirky + brand sponsorships, effective video content, websites, and branding

  • Grew our YouTube channel to 50,000 subscribers 

  • Expanded our family by 1 fierce, furry angel named Zero

  • Realized living in a van full time no longer fueled our fire + it was time to pump the brakes

Because when something no longer feels like the ultimate adventure, it’s time for a new map.

 THIS IS THE PART OF THE STORY WHERE SH*T GETS GOOD

INTRODUCING: DYNAMO ULTIMA (WITHOUT WHEELS)

Dynamo Ultima is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. We’re a creative design studio that says “f*ck the rules” and empowers you to do the same. 

When you infuse our talents + expertise with your brilliance + brand, the result is a one-of-a-kind experience your humans won’t be able to get enough of. 

Because bold ass brands deserve bold ass designers to bring their visions to life. 

And that’s what Dynamo Ultima is all about.
