Dreaming of expanding your business and building a creative team?

Em is a Canadian prairie girl, who tore up her acceptance letter to business school and moved across the world to find something more. After spending 3 years working in a creativity-killing corporate role, she knew there was no opportunity for her to truly push herself and live the life she wanted to live.

So in 2019, the business came to life. After years of epic growth, the agency evolved from 1 to 1 + 3 unicorn team members.

Sparo Studios dives head first into the deep end to create strategic, bold, confident, and wildly irresistible brands for women like you.

Outspoken leaders in strategic branding and design for established, women-led businesses — Em and her team are well known for thinking (and creating) outside the box and doing things differently.
