Tusk Creative Studios

Operating as a one-person studio from Newport Beach, California, Tusk Creative Studios works with Orange County businesses across sectors including eCommerce, luxury construction, fintech, fashion, hospitality, and real estate. Founded in 2017 by Austin Simpkins, who serves as founder and lead designer, the studio positions itself as a boutique alternative to larger agencies, with every project handled directly by Simpkins from initial discovery call through post-launch support. Client work referenced on the site spans retailers such as BBQGrills.com and Kitchen Foundry, along with construction, trading platform, and hosting/IT businesses. The studio's two main service areas are website design and development, and paid advertising. Website work includes custom builds on Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, and headless stacks, with an emphasis on conversion-focused design, UX mapped to sales funnels, landing page creation, conversion rate optimization, and ongoing care plans after launch. On the advertising side, the studio is Google Partner-certified and manages campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok, and Bing, including Google Shopping and Merchant Center setup for eCommerce clients, full-funnel campaign management, and ad creative production. Supporting services include brand strategy and creative identity work, covering logo design, photography, and video. A featured case study describes a rebuild of the BBQGrills.com storefront paired with a Google Search and Shopping PPC campaign, reported alongside gains in conversion value, return on ad spend, and a reduction in cost per click.
