Background

A Home and a Future for Black Innovators

Entrepreneurship is the key to closing the racial wealth gap. However, access to resources that serve this goal is often scarce, mismanaged, or poorly disseminated. Additionally, systemic racism fueled by both conscious and unconscious bias can make it difficult for Black folk to be owners and build economies that sustain their communities without exploitation.

Together, Studio J Lorne and Black Innovation Alliance have developed a myriad of unique and galvanizing brands for BIA’s extensive list of programs and initiatives.

Studio J Lorne has been invaluable to the growth of Black Innovation Alliance. The SJL team has grown with us and our needs, and continues to help us "level up" to meet every opportunity. As a young organization, we've been able to build a strong brand which is difficult to achieve early on. Additionally, they've helped us produce and maintain an aesthetic that is second to none. We could not recommend SJL more highly. They are the best.

— Kelly Burton PhD, CEO Black Innovation Alliance

Winning Highlights

Aided by SJL’s efforts, BIA has managed to secure funding and partnerships with notable entities like UBS, Travelers, Time Magazine, Ebay, Target, and many more due in no small part to the strength of their brand presence.

Client Relationship

The SJL x BIA relationship first began with Jason Giles’ admiration for BIA and a desire to join as a member. Although his initial application didn’t lead to immediate collaboration, later on he was hired to help deliver a deck template package. This initial project helped jumpstart a relationship of visual brand strategy efforts backed by SJL’s branding process.
