Frequently asked questions

What is The 138 Way?

It’s a digital studio where we explore better ways to create. From tools and prompts to brand stories and small experiments (and merch), we experiment to simplify the lives of modern creators.

Is this a personal brand or a company?

It’s a studio, not a startup. One person at the core, but many ideas in motion. Think of it as a home for side projects that make sense, before they scale.

What kind of projects do you work on?

Mostly digital. We focus on prompts, frameworks, and minimal products that help creators get clarity, launch the minimum version of an idea, and tell better stories. Occasionally, we’ll drop a t-shirt or a toolkit.

Can I collaborate or contribute?

Sometimes. We’re open to meaningful collaborations, especially around writing, product design, or AI-powered creativity. Drop a note: we read everything.
