About
Build Lab. Venture Studio. Powered by AI.
Stackd Studios AI is an AI-powered Build Lab & Creative Venture Studio helping business owners and founders design, build, and launch intelligent systems — so they can operate smarter, move faster, and build something that lasts.
We work in two tracks: AI systems and tools for business owners, and strategy + venture builds for founders. Every project is grounded in craft, strategy, and a genuine belief that the right technology — built thoughtfully — changes businesses.

Founder & CEO
United States
Chanel founded Stackd Studios AI under Hicks Virtual Solutions LLC with a clear mission: give business owners and founders access to the same AI-powered infrastructure that big companies take for granted — without the enterprise price tag or the bloat.
With a background in product development, systems design, and AI implementation, Chanel leads every project with a bias toward clarity, craft, and results.
Mission
“To design, build, and launch intelligent systems and ventures — giving business owners and founders the power to operate smarter, move faster, and build something that lasts, powered by AI, craft, and strategic thinking.”
How We Work
The principles behind every build
Craft over shortcuts
AI makes us faster — but it doesn't replace judgment. Every deliverable is reviewed, refined, and held to a standard we'd put our name on.
Clarity over complexity
We don't build to impress. We build what works. Simple systems that your team can actually use, understand, and grow with.
Strategy before code
A great product built on a weak model still fails. We always start with why before we touch a line of code.
Speed without chaos
Two-week sprints. Same-day proposals. AI-assisted builds. We move fast because we've built the process to support it — not because we're cutting corners.
Tech Stack
We build on the best tools available.
Our stack is chosen for speed, reliability, and scale — the same tools powering some of the best products on the internet.
