ABOUT
US
Before Schola Designs became a creative force in brand identity, it was born from rhythm, vision, and a relentless pursuit of connection.
The journey began with Courtney "Schola" Long, a Louisiana native whose creative roots run deep. Before he was building brands for businesses, he was building beats, crafting lyrics, and producing music that resonated with people on a soul level. As a songwriter, producer, and music artist, Courtney learned early on what it takes to capture attention and emotion—how to tell stories that people don’t just hear, but feel.

Since 2011, Courtney has worn many creative hats - photographer, graphic designer, film producer, and brand strategist - each one sharpening his ability to translate vision into visuals and messaging into meaning. Over the years, one thing became clear: most businesses weren’t failing because their product wasn’t good. They were failing because they didn’t know how to connect

That’s whereSchola Designs was born—not just as a design agency, but as a belief system.
