Aether Creative Studio has been formally certified as a State of California Small Business by the California Department of Small Business. This designation affirms our eligibility and readiness to support both public-sector and private projects within the state, under established standards of compliance and accountability.

For organizations operating in regulated or requirements-driven environments, certification matters. It signals that a studio is not only capable from a creative and technical standpoint, but also prepared to operate within the administrative, contractual, and reporting frameworks that public work often requires.

At Aether Creative Studio, this certification aligns naturally with how we already work.

Our approach emphasizes:

• Clear documentation and transparent operations
• Systems designed for longevity and maintainability
• Accessibility, performance, and structural clarity as baseline requirements
• Thoughtful coordination with internal teams, partners, and stakeholders

Rather than treating certification as a marketing milestone, we see it as part of the infrastructure that supports dependable execution. It enables smoother procurement processes, clearer engagement terms, and greater confidence for agencies, institutions, and contractors seeking qualified local partners.

We are particularly focused on work that functions as long-term digital infrastructure—web platforms, content systems, and integrations that must evolve responsibly over time. Public-sector and adjacent projects demand this level of rigor, and we welcome the responsibility that comes with it.

This certification strengthens our ability to contribute to meaningful work across California while maintaining the deliberate scale, senior oversight, and systems-first thinking that define Aether Creative Studio.

As we continue partnering with organizations that value clarity, durability, and accountability, this designation helps ensure that the foundation beneath the work is as sound as the outcomes themselves.
