About
One studio. One designer. All the focus.
Cadence Studio exists because small and mid-sized businesses deserve world-class motion design — and they shouldn't need an enterprise budget to get it.
The Studio
Josh McKernan
Founder & Creative Director
I'm Josh — a finance professional and entrepreneur who believes motion design is the most underused growth lever for small and mid-sized businesses. With a B.B.A. in Finance and experience in investment operations at a major philanthropic institution, I built Cadence Studio on one principle: every frame should serve a business goal, not just look good. I personally oversee every client relationship and every project from brief to delivery.

Values
How I work.
Craft over volume
I take a limited number of projects at a time so every client gets the focus and quality they paid for.
Transparent pricing
Flat project rates, always. No scope creep surprises, no time-tracking invoices — you know the cost before we start.
Strategy first
Great motion design serves a goal. Every project starts with understanding what you want it to do, not just what you want it to look like.
You own everything
Full intellectual property transfer with every project. Source files included on brand system engagements.
