Your studio should make you look professional during the workday and give you the production quality to create credible content or record a podcast when the meeting ends.
Show up with consistent framing, natural lighting, clear audio, and a background that looks intentional—not improvised five minutes before an important call.
Move beyond a basic webcam setup with a repeatable recording environment designed for higher-quality videos, short-form content, livestreams, and courses.
Create a polished, repeatable podcast environment with clear sound, flattering camera angles, dependable lighting, and a workflow that is ready when you are.
Available with Pro and VIP
Press one button and your compatible lights, camera workflow, audio, displays, and recording tools are ready. Press it again and the studio powers down.
No fumbling with lights. No sound check before every meeting. No wondering whether the camera settings changed. The system is documented, repeatable, and stable: set it, trust it, and get to work.
Side by side
Base improves the equipment you already own with no additional equipment budget. Pro adds equipment planning and virtual build guidance. VIP adds hands-on onsite setup.
The Tattooed Nerd method
Your space, workflow, computer, and goals determine the system—not whatever gear is trending this week.
Camera, light, sound, mounting, power, automation, and software have to operate as one reliable setup.
A great studio is one you can turn on, trust, and use immediately without checking every setting before every call or recording.
For a Guided Studio Build or White-Glove project, explore the Good and Great studio systems. The Base package works with what you already own and requires no equipment purchases.
View the equipment listsBefore you choose
Base requires no new equipment purchases. For Pro and VIP, equipment purchases are separate from Patrick's planning, guidance, and setup services.
No. The process begins with your current room and equipment. Anything that already works well becomes part of the plan.
Most studios can be dramatically simplified. The exact automation depends on your existing equipment, power, computer, and applications. Your plan identifies what can be automated and which compatible components are needed.
Choose Base to improve what you already own without an equipment budget, Pro for equipment planning and virtual build guidance, or VIP for Patrick to build and test the system onsite.
The $1,599 starting price covers the defined studio planning and one onsite setup day. Patrick can come to clients in the Charleston, South Carolina area. For projects outside the area, travel and lodging accommodations are paid by the client. Unusually complex installations and additional visits are quoted separately.
Why Patrick
Patrick Kelley is a technology architect, speaker, author, creator, and the person behind Tattooed Nerd.
His career has taken him through Disney, ESPN, Microsoft, and Zoom—across movie sets, sports broadcasts, elite conferencing rooms, and purpose-built home studios.
Patrick has helped thousands of professionals through LinkedIn and YouTube feel more confident and credible on camera. He combines broadcast craft with years of designing systems that have to work every time, so the finished studio is dependable for both high-stakes meetings and serious content creation.
The goal is not more equipment. It is a system that disappears when the camera turns on, so you can focus on the conversation, presentation, or story.
Stop guessing
Start with the package that matches how much help you want. Patrick will take it from there.
