The Studio: Sound, Story & Soulful Design
Immersive Sound, Storytelling, and Seamless Production.
Welcome to the Studio, where sonic haiku meets conscious creation. This is the creative heart of The Philosophical Yogi, a space where audio production, immersive storytelling, and mindful design converge to shape meaningful work
What we do
Cinematic Audio Production
Sound design and original scoring for podcasts, trailers, immersive experiences, and soulful branded content.
Crafted to move, emotionally attuned, atmospherically layered, and rooted in storytelling, BBC-quality mixing and mastering with analog warmth and spatial depth, shaped by a love of vinyl, field recording, and cinematic resonance.
Immersive Storytelling & Scriptwriting
Research-driven narratives with a human and historical core
Clarity, depth, and a voice shaped by lived experience
Podcast strategy, guest curation, and full-spectrum editorial support,
from scripting and scheduling to production, mastering, and syndication
Web, UX & Content Design
Web and product UX design focused on clarity, feeling, and flow, blending form and function with narrative intuition.
From one-page sites to full-scale platforms, we build content-first experiences that welcome, guide, and inspire.
Content that resonates, speaks clearly, and sustains attention,
crafted with intention for soulful brands and thoughtful audiences.

Beyond the Brief
Our work lives at the meeting point of clarity, curiosity, and care.
Over the years, we’ve told stories through various media: audio, video, words, interfaces, and workshops, but the impulse has always been the same: to craft spaces that feel genuine. Whether composing for a BBC arts series, designing user flows for a music conservatoire, or building sound libraries rooted in history, we’re drawn to the quiet power of resonance, the right tone, the right image, the right silence.
This isn’t just content. It’s a way of listening. A way of noticing. A way of showing up for the world with open eyes and tuned ears.
The Philosophical Yogi isn’t just a brand, it’s the result of walking many miles inward and outward - a conversation between lived experience and layered creativity.
If that resonates with the work you’re doing, let’s talk.
Podcast Production & Stewardship
From Deep Listening to Global Resonance
Between us, we’ve produced over 200 episodes of a leading wellness podcast, currently with more than 3 million downloads. Ziba led guest outreach, research, scheduling, and syndication, crafting a calm and professional container that attracted top-tier speakers and a devoted global audience. Amir shaped the sonic experience of each episode, editing and mastering the full journey, balancing contrasting Zoom dialogue setups, weaving in intros, mid-break ads, and reflective outros. His work brought cohesion and clarity, helping each conversation land with quiet resonance.
Together, we offer a boutique podcasting service grounded in clarity, empathy, and polish, from concept through to distribution. Whether you’re launching a new series or refining an existing show, we help you bring consistency, quality, and depth to every episode.

E-Commerce Rescue & Redesign
-
Julian’s limited-edition print gallery had been hacked. SEO collapsed, sales plummeted. I rebuilt it on Shopify with bespoke tax logic (for UK + international VAT variations), a clean UX for over 1,000 multi-variant products, and mobile-first speed. I added shipping tiers for everything from huge maritime canvases to small giclées, plus regional discounts. I led SEO recovery and created a sonic brand, cutting mini promos from a documentary on Geoff Hunt. Sales rebounded, and we later consolidated five of his niche galleries under a new umbrella site, with custom redirects and unified design.

“It has been a pleasure working with Amir. As well as being highly professional and competent, he is also engaging and enthusiastic. He quickly understood our complicated requirement for two Google-friendly ecommerce websites to replace legacy ones and determined that Shopify was the most appropriate platform. In the visual design he successfully retained brand continuity with the old sites whilst modernising and greatly improving the presentation. Bespoke functionality and integration with Google search is now excellent. Pixel is always ready to go the extra mile to help and explain. I highly recommend Philosophical Yogi.
Chhabra
Bold Branding for a Modern Tea Brand
-
Casey and the team behind Chhabra, a women-led, globally inspired chai and hot chocolate brand stocked in Tesco, needed a vibrant rebrand and a fresh digital storefront. With roots spanning India, the Caribbean, and the UK, they wanted their new site to pop with flavour, colour, and confidence. I designed a bold, millennial-friendly Squarespace site that balanced vivid visuals with user-friendly simplicity. Alongside the build, I created original icons and brand elements to tie the experience together, giving Chhabra a consistent, expressive visual language. Features included recipe pages, product cards, and playful motion to convey flavour and warmth. Squarespace was chosen over Shopify for its ease of use and social-first orientation. The result: a rich, self-manageable brand platform that celebrates Chhabra’s unique identity and distributor-ready presence.

Amir was great to work with! He had a lot of knowledge on Squarespace as well as other domain providers which was so helpful it making our new website as slick as possible! We had great communication throughout the project with Phone calls, WhatsApp and emails, he is very trust worthy and I found that he always kept us up to date on the status of the project. We loved his eye for design too, and are really pleased with the final result of the website! Thanks so much, we look forward to working with you again! - Casy, Chhabra

Bridging AI and eCommerce

Martynas, co-founder of Prime AI, approached me to help articulate the impact of their cutting-edge AI tools for fashion sizing and personalization. With complex neural network systems powering their tech, they needed clear, engaging storytelling for brands unfamiliar with the science.
I designed a content strategy grounded in detailed blog articles, supported by an AI-generated podcast, Silicon & Silk, that translated the insights into an accessible, human voice.
The result?
5× increase in demo inquiries
500% growth in LinkedIn followers
A new WordPress build to reduce dev strain and streamline updates
Launch support for a breakthrough tool converting product images into dynamic videos showing true fabric flow and texture
This was a hands-on role combining writing, UX, web strategy, and technical fluency, helping an ambitious team communicate powerfully to their market.

Amir brought a lot to the team. We enjoyed working with him; he has a keen sensitivity and picks up concepts quickly, communicating them effectively. The results speak for themselves, night and day. Martynas, Prime AI
