Motto® is born
In their early twenties, co-founders Sunny and Ashleigh drop out of college with just $250. They transform a commercial warehouse into a design studio and quickly gained recognition for creating brands and album art for iconic musicians and bands. They name the studio Motto®(n): A bold belief, statement of purpose, or rally cry.
