What “Live Your Own Life” Means to Us
Live Your Own Life. Tell Your Own Stories. Build Your Own Worlds
The L.Y.O.L. Philosophy
To Live Your Own Life is to Own your Vision
At LYOL, we reject imitation in favor of intention—choosing authorship over algorithms, purpose over trends, and control over compromise. That philosophy guides every decision, from concept to final frame.
We create original worlds, grounded characters, and visuals that feel authentic, not automated. AI is not the artist. It’s the tool—directed with precision, discipline, and taste in service of the story.

Trevor is LYOL Studios’ Audio Lead—shaping sound with precision, restraint, and narrative intent. From subtle atmospheres to emotionally charged moments, his work is guided by the belief that audio should be felt before it’s noticed.
