There are a lot of apps that let you spice up your pictures with fancy designs and overlays, but one app is taking it to the next level.

We actually allow you users to sort of piggyback off of other users creativity through our proprietary remix feature, said Joe Wilson, co-founder and CEO of Studio Design. We are really trying to build a community to make it easy for people to create the types of designs that they want.

Wilson said if a user likes a certain design that has already been made, that user can simply take that design, tweak it the way he or she wants it and apply it to his or her photo. Every design shared on Studio Design is remixable from other people, but users can also have their designs private if they dont feel comfortable sharing with the public.

We have over 5,000 overlay elements, fonts, crops which is a much larger number than you typically get in a free design product, Wilson said. Weve had them designed by designers all over the world, a lot of great local Salt Lake designers have worked with us to make these overlay elements.

Studio Design is free and available on iOS and Android.

The Studio Design team also just released a new app called Brandr that is specifically for small businesses to create compelling social media content.

We have a library of stock content that users can quickly customize with their own logos and branding and have a higher impact on social media with visual content, Wilson said. The product is a suite of tools for small businesses to really start excelling at social media content creation.

Brandr is also free with the option of an in-app purchase for more content and analytics. It is only available on iOS right now but is coming soon to Android.
