About · Leadership & Governance

The creative engine behind an enterprise culture platform.

IV Studio is an enterprise Gen Z activation and culture platform. Kids make the art, adults run the contracts, and Desert Sun Investments runs the network — the same governance model that powers our Discord communities, event merch drops, and youth art licensing lanes.

The Creative Engine
Behind the Agency

Felipe is the Principal Design Director — but he is the door, not the ceiling. IV Studio is a Gen Z creative platform where kids make the art. Felipe leads it; a curated network of young artists feeds it; and corporate partners license the work into streetwear, brand activations, co-branded bottle exterior designs, and youth wellness deployments.

His visual instincts drive the studio's entire IP pipeline. All external peer-to-peer mentorship, digital community collaboration, and youth advocacy are strictly decoupled from commercial operations and hosted under the compliant non-profit framework of GuidedHealers.org.

Studio Protocol · Adult-Operated

Felipe only makes the art. Partnerships, contracts, media, and institutional communications are run by adults under Desert Sun Investments LLC.

Behind Felipe

Meet Ana Vasquez, M.Ed.

Ana is Felipe's mom — and the reason this works. She's the strategist and connector who lets Felipe be a young artist instead of a minor running a business.

She runs AnaConnectsYou.com, a network of executives, brands, and non-profits that opens doors for young creators.

Youth Artist Collaboration Program

Kids submit. We curate. Brands license. Young artists win.

IV Studio runs an ongoing, adult-governed pipeline where young artists submit original work. Our team curates. Corporate partners license selected pieces into campaigns. The young artist wins a prize, gets credited, and — where family consent allows — sees their work carried into the world.

01

Kids submit art

Original pieces submitted through our supervised intake channel with guardian consent.

02

We curate

Our creative team selects work that fits an active corporate brief or open capsule.

03

Brands license

Partners license the piece for packaging, apparel, bottle exteriors, campaigns, or capsules.

04

Artists win prizes

Selected artists receive prizes, credit, and — where age-appropriate — a paid licensing arrangement.
