Klydo Studio

A platform built to scale the creation, review, and publishing of creator-made content.

Overview

Klydo Studio is a platform built to manage the content behind Klydoclock, a physical product. The product is powered by a growing library of artist‑created animations. As it scaled, handling submissions, approvals, and publishing became complex. Klydo Studio was designed to streamline that process for both creators and the internal team.

Main Goal

Streamlining and expanding the company's content creation process, the backbone of the business, by automating manual workflows.

CHALLENGE 01

Designing for a Non-Standard Creative Medium

The interface had to support loop animations constrained by a fixed circular format, unlike a traditional flexible screen.

CHALLENGE 02

Scaling a Clear Approval Workflow

Designing a status-based approval system that remains clear and predictable as content volume grows.

CHALLENGE 03

Connecting Two Dependent Workflows

Approval is the point where decisions are made. Only after content is approved can creators choose how to use and organize it. This keeps creation simple at first, and allows large amounts of approved content to be easily managed when building collections.

Impact

Before Klydo Studio, every collection meant back-and-forth emails, manual design work, and coordination between several teams, taking up valuable time and slowing down other projects.

Klydo Studio changed the way content was created and published. Artists could now manage their own content, cutting hours of manual work, reducing the workload across teams, and making it easier to scale without adding more resources.
