Roots Studio is a brand that is dedicated to bridging cultures and reversing cultural loss through future-positive solutions. Their mission is to amplify voices, preserve endangered heritage creativity, and facilitate economic sustainability through art. With nearly a decade of experience, Roots Studio has established strong relationships with indigenous artists from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, bringing their extraordinary art to Western designers, textile manufacturers, and fashion companies.

The team at Roots Studio works closely with tribal communities, leveraging their expertise in high design, grassroots organizing, and retail to offer surface pattern, technological, and financial literacy workshops twice a month. Their vision is to support the local economies of heritage-rich communities by utilizing technology as a bridge, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11. By doing so, Roots Studio aims to create alternatives to migration and encourage sustainable lifestyles within these communities.

Through their licensing program, Roots Studio ensures that royalties wired back to the village are five times the original selling price of each license. This profit split structure allocates 75% of the profits to the artists and 25% to a community fund. This approach recognizes individual talent while also allowing the village to participate as a whole and have a say in community needs.

Roots Studio believes that life is abundant, not scarce, and they are passionate about increasing the proverbial pie for inclusive creativity. They welcome partnerships with values-aligned individuals and organizations who share their vision.
