Most engagements eventually span both lanes. Discovery scopes the right shape.
Aurelia May Studio is a duo agency. Michael Cathrea founded Resonate Music in Edmonton and launched the studio to productize what he learned from rebuilding the school's website. Travis Grant, a longtime friend and collaborator who created an AI-integrated digital strategy at a national non-profit, saw the work and joined as co-founder. AMS is now 50/50, two principals, deep in complementary domains, committed to the same idea: small teams can operate beyond their headcount through AI integration.

How we work
AMS works obsessively with a small number of clients at a time. The duo is in the room from intake through delivery. No vendor team. No junior account exec. No handoffs between five specialists who do not talk to each other.
The model is built for speed. Brief async, discovery session, scoped recommendation within a week — and the build moves fast from there. The web and the workplace are both changing under everyone's feet — and that is the whole point of the model.
Best way to start is to tell us about your business and what you're trying to move. From there we have a 30-minute call. If we're a fit, the rest kicks off. If we're not, we say so honestly. There's good work in every direction.
