Make Space for Transformation

We are an independent creative agency that evolves brands, businesses, and teams from expected to exponential.

Compoundingly
different.

We’re artists.
We’re nerds.
And some of us expats. 

Learning is in our DNA.

And together we’re on a mission to solve your WTFs.

We work with clients across a wide range of industries – from entertainment to energy to tech.

Because if it’s solving something we’ve never seen before, we want in on it.

A sampling of our biggest fans.

Whether we’re working with your creative department, marketing and sales, PR and communications, executives, or event teams, our best partners are ones that celebrate the journey and champion the unknown.

We’ve built lasting relationships with our clients and within our own team by embracing and cultivating different perspectives, work experiences, cultural backgrounds, and subject matter expertise. 

By forging diverse, different and even, sometimes, opposing ideas and perspectives, we continually align the right mix of elements to launch the strongest creative.

Feeling quizzical?

  • Our design process borrows from the scientific method.

  • We rock the mindset that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Drawing a parallel to playing in a band, if every member competes against each other, it results in noise. Our power is working in sync with one another and our clients so they have the best results possible. We leave our egos at the door.

  • One size fits all? Not here. Looking for a case study that mirrors your challenge? We don’t have it. Each client’s need is unique and we believe their solution should carry that same level of authenticity. By assembling a custom team for each project, and following best practices to uncover your roadmap, we deliver exclusive experiences designed for you.

  • Because of our roots, we value cultivating different perspectives in our business and personal life. We serve our community by donating our creative services to non-profit organizations including the Festival of Philippine Arts in Culture in Los Angeles, and LYN, The Love Your Neighbor project which serves families in Kerala, India.

  • We geek out over industries and challenges that most wouldn’t dare to scale. If this sounds like your second home, shoot your shot by sending an email to: tanya@arealab.la

  • We want to collaborate and address global issues such as climate change, minority representation, social justice, fitness, mental health and wellness, and beyond. We want to scale so we can do more to serve our local and global community. If you’ve got something juicy that goes beyond the norm, ping mark@arealab.la to share more.
