Boilerplate — short

Boilerplate — long
Aedo Studio is a Sydney-based creative studio founded in 2026 to close the gap between brand websites and the imagery that fills them. The studio works with Australian direct-to-consumer brands at $1–15M ARR, taking a single creative direction from product detail page through to paid social. Its imagery practice runs entirely on a CGI pipeline — Blender for lighting, Photoshop for finish — producing output indistinguishable from a traditional studio shoot while removing the need for physical product shipping and booked studio days. Its build practice runs in Next.js and Webflow, with the engineering depth of a software studio rather than the templated workflow of a generalist web agency. Aedo is operated as a sole-trader entity by Daniel Ajami, a University of Technology Sydney graduate with a background spanning web, AI, and security engineering. Engagements open with a written direction the founder signs off before any production starts, and ship to a fixed timeline with files ready for every channel on the day agreed.
Founder — Daniel Ajami
Daniel Ajami is the founder of Aedo Studio. He graduated from the University of Technology Sydney and spent his early career shipping web, AI, and security engineering work for other teams. Aedo is the synthesis: engineering rigour applied to the front of house, an editorial eye applied to the imagery, both held inside one studio rather than split across vendors. He lives and works in Sydney.

Quotable lines
Pre-cleared for quotation; attribute to Aedo Studio or to Daniel Ajami as relevant.
- “Aedo Studio is a Sydney studio that builds the brand website and shoots the product imagery that fills it — one team, one creative direction, from PDP to Instagram.”
- “The studio works in a digital pipeline that is indistinguishable from a traditional product shoot: CGI lighting setups in Blender, finished by hand in Photoshop, with film-grain emulation to keep the output photographic.”
- “Daniel Ajami founded Aedo in 2026 after years shipping web, AI, and security engineering work for other teams. He is a graduate of the University of Technology Sydney.”
- “Aedo's pricing is published openly on the studio's site — sole-trader rates that sit below agency floor for the first founding-studio year, with most clients settling into a monthly retainer after a Flagship launch.”
