Studio Ampersands is the independent design practice of and c. shike – focused on visual design, UX, code, and illustration.

I like working on brands, websites, generative animation, music campaigns, editorial illustrations, or anything I’ve never done before. Currently based in Los Angeles & Tennessee.
