History:
Initially starting off as a freelance designer, Myer has been working with a variety of artists, designers, technicians, and actors and was inspired how free and unfazed they were during the creation process, which got Myer thinking...

During his studies, Myer saw the lack of innovation and change within art and design, and he started to question if there is a way to incorporate the worlds of art and design to create something new, something radical...

Despite being a student at the time, Myer decided to start a design studio with the primary goal being “rejecting the norm” and “being weird” within the professional art and design world. KDA STUDIO was officially established in 2024 to radicalize art and design along with a few other friends who also wanted to create something radical and weird.

Mission:
KDA STUDIO is a radical, guerilla studio. We seek to change art and design through unconventional methods and processes.

There is no such thing as “normal”. There is a lack of innovation and movement within art and design because people do the same thing knowing it works and provides stability. We reject that way of thinking to bring forth something new, something radical.

Our goal is to get people wondering, talking, questioning, and thinking. Our measure of success is if people ask “why” or “what is this” because only then do we know we have created something completely radical and new.

Vision:
To create for the sake of creating and allowing freedom in artistic and design choices that help elevate and radicalize our current understanding of art and design. We want to support fellow artists and designers on their projects because everyone is a creator at heart, and we want them to take pride in their creations with KDA STUDIO being a launching pad.

At KDA STUDIO, we hope to share our unique vision and perspective on art and design to whomever we work with because it is our hope that our way of thinking and working will inspire people we work with to go from something immeasurable to measurable and back to the immeasurable.

Philosophy:
KDA STUDIO believes in the process of creation and play because design needs play.

Design needs flexibility.
Design needs time.

The process of making and time is essential to cultivate and foster ideas and iteration, and this process of making is playful like a kid in a sandbox.

We will put stuff here and there and see if it works or not, and we continue to try and try and try until we discover a language, form, or something. We create with the expectation of things being picked at, torn, and shredded in order to discover something new idea. We accept failure and use failure to invigorate ourselves and challenge us to create something better than the last.
