Who I Am
Hi, I’m Savanna Tiehes, the artist and founder of Silver Token Studio. I’m a multi-disciplinary artist specializing in hand-crafted logo design and traditional pet portraits. Every piece I create is made entirely by hand—no AI, no templates, just years of practice and a genuine love for bringing ideas to life.
I work primarily with startups and small businesses who need memorable brand identities, and with pet owners who want heirloom-quality artwork that captures their beloved companions. If you value authenticity, craftsmanship, and working with someone who genuinely cares about your project, we’ll be a great fit.
My Background
I’ve been studying art for over eight years, and I’ve spent the past 2-3 years honing my skills in logo design and branding. My traditional art background—especially pet portraits—spans over two years of dedicated practice and client work.
Beyond client work, I run a YouTube channel where I share my creative process and tutorials of working with different mediums and trying new projects.
My Values
• Authenticity - No shortcuts, no AI, no templates
• Craftsmanship - Attention to detail in every stroke and pixel
• Respect - For your vision, your privacy, your time
• Growth - Always learning, always improving
• Faith - As a Christian artist, I approach my work with integrity and boundaries I’m proud of
My Approach
Collaboration Over Commands
I believe the best creative work comes from genuine collaboration. Your project starts with a detailed questionnaire that helps me understand your vision, audience, and goals. From there, I provide concepts and we refine together until it’s exactly right.
Low-Pressure Communication
All project communication happens via email. No pressure for phone calls, no surprise meetings—just clear, documented conversations at a pace that works for both of us. This approach works especially well for fellow introverts and busy business owners who appreciate thoughtful, asynchronous communication.
Quality Over Speed
I limit the number of projects I take on each month to ensure every client gets my full attention and best work. Your logo or portrait isn’t rushed or templated—it’s thoughtfully crafted specifically for you.
Transparency & Trust
You’ll always know what to expect: clear pricing, realistic timelines, defined revision rounds, and straightforward terms. No hidden fees, no surprises, no pressure tactics.
What Makes Us Different
100% Hand-Crafted, Zero AI
In a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated content, I’m committed to traditional artistry. Every logo is designed by hand, sometimes featuring custom lettering to best suit your brand and style. Every pet portrait is hand-drawn using graphite, charcoal, and pastel—never printed, never AI-assisted.
You Get the Original (Pet Portraits)
Unlike many artists who keep the original and sell prints, I believe commissioned art belongs in your hands. Every pet portrait includes the physical original artwork, carefully packaged and shipped to you, plus a high-resolution digital scan. You’re not just getting a print—you’re getting a one-of-a-kind heirloom.
Specialized Expertise
I focus on what I do best: brand identities for startups and small businesses, and expressive black and white animal portraits. This specialization means I understand your specific needs, challenges, and goals better than a generalist would.
Respectful Content Creation
As a YouTube content creator, I love sharing the creative process—but only with your permission. You have full control over whether your project appears in videos or on social media, and I never share personal information without explicit consent.
When I'm Not Creating Client Work
You’ll find me working on my YouTube channel, practicing calligraphy, or experimenting with new traditional art techniques. I believe in constantly pushing my skills while staying true to the fundamentals of good design and artistry.
Let's Work Together
Whether you’re launching a startup and need a logo that makes an impact, or you want to immortalize your beloved pet in a timeless portrait, I’d love to hear about your project.
