Who we are

Frank & Lou Creative is an independent, family-run studio crafting thoughtful experiences and content across digital, video, and in-person spaces. Rooted in collaboration and care, our work reflects the same values we live by at home: clarity, creativity, and connection. From branded installations to story-driven films, we create work that feels personal, because for us, it is.

We stay intentionally small so we can remain flexible, present, and fully invested in every project. We expand when the work calls for it, pulling in trusted collaborators and specialists to match the scale of the story , not the other way around.

We work hand-in-hand with mission-driven organizations, schools, and growing brands to bring bold ideas to life through strategy, storytelling, and design. Whether we’re developing a film, a visual identity, or an interactive experience, we lead with listening and build with care.

Because for us, great work starts with people.

And ends with a cherry on top.

Meet the Team

We’re Paul and Jamie Duda—a husband-and-wife team with over 25 years of combined experience in creative production, design, and storytelling. At Frank & Lou Creative, we bring together our complementary skills and shared vision to lead every project with intention, care, and a deep love for the work.

Jamie began her career in set design and props, working on projects for Star Wars, Hot Wheels, and feature films like Red Line and Army Dog, before pivoting into branding and design. Her portfolio includes visual identity work for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, GIVEN Women’s Forum, One Girl Revolution, and Catholic schools across Detroit.

Paul started in feature film production and went on to produce motion graphics for Fox Sports, Sportsnet, and NY1, before taking on major creative roles for the Archdioceses of Los Angeles and Detroit, and has worked as a key creative producer and partner for Coronation Media, 4PM Media, and 10th Hour Productions. His work spans short films, commercials, animated explainers, documentaries, and interactive installations for clients like Ford Bronco, Charles H. Wright Museum, and Sophia Press. He has worked on Emmy award winning campaigns, celebrated festival shorts, and broadcast commercials.

Together, we lead every project ourselves, from first brainstorm to final delivery, ensuring every story we tell is thoughtful, human, and unforgettable.

Built on collaboration.

We’ve built a trusted network of creative partners who help us scale to meet any project’s needs, without ever compromising on quality.

We regularly work with directors, cinematographers, editors, motion designers, brand strategists, graphic designers, writers, photographers, stylists, set dressers, art directors, developers, interactive designers, sound designers, composers, and producers. Whether we’re crafting a short branded spot or a multi-part narrative series, we bring together the right mix of people to tell the story well, and we treat everyone on the team with the same care and respect we bring to our clients. If you’re interested in working with us, as a client or an artist, we’d love to connect
