Our Story · Ikoyi, Lagos

Technology-led.
Detail obsessed.

We built 1204Studios around a belief that the best creative work happens when modern technology meets uncompromising craft.

// How We Work

Not a traditional agency.

We integrate AI into research, strategy, and production — making us faster and more precise. Every deliverable is still reviewed and refined by people who refuse to ship anything that isn't right.

AI-POWERED RESEARCH

Automated brand audits and competitive analysis. We surface insights faster so we can spend more time acting on them.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN SYSTEMS

Colour harmonics, type pairing, and layout systems that are mathematically coherent and emotionally resonant.

HANDS-ON CRAFT

No AI-generated final output. Every deliverable is made by hand, reviewed obsessively, and delivered with intention.

SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE

Structured review sessions and milestone updates so you always know where your project stands.

// How It Started

A collective born.

"What if we stopped selling our skills one at a time — and built something together instead?"

About a decade ago Paul Adegoke had a simple realisation: individual skills, brought together as a collective, become something far more powerful. That conviction became G'Raphix — not a traditional agency, but a people-first studio where the focus was always on who was executing. They grew. Design expanded into print, motion, video. G'Raphix. TellyStudios. To-tom Prints. 1204Studios. Different names. The same conviction.

// Our History

Brand Journey

2016 – 2019

G'Raphix

Where it began. A design operation built on raw creative energy and the belief that great work belongs to everyone — not just big-budget brands. The foundation that everything else was built on.

TellyStudios

Paul's design agency merged with Kayode's marketing agency into one media production company. The primary channel was YouTube — and TellyStudios crossed a thousand subscribers organically in just a few months. Built with Habeebah, Halima, Haneefah, Taiwo, and Daniel.

To-tom Prints

Paul's family started a business centre in Ikorodu in 2002 — it grew into To-tom Prints across three locations over a decade. When Paul finished university in 2021, what he built in school merged with what his family built at home. He moved back to Lagos to run the press, building the hands-on craft that would define 1204Studios.
