About StudioLedger
StudioLedger partners with architecture firm principals regain control of their practice by bringing clarity and discipline to the business side of design. We focus on operational visibility, decision structure, and leadership cadence, so principals can make confident, timely decisions without becoming the operating system.
This is not generic business consulting. StudioLedger works with architecture firms and is grounded in how design work actually happens: deadlines shift, scopes evolve, and creative judgment must coexist with financial reality. And although not everything is quantifiable, we still appreciate the sentiment attributed to Peter Drucker saying, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." StudioLedger applies a clear business lens.
The result is a firm that operates with greater predictability, healthier margins, and leadership capacity that scales.
What StudioLedger Does
About the Founder
Matthew Johnson has spent nearly two decades in the architecture industry, supporting projects from early pursuits through construction and working across many roles. His experience spans corporate campuses, convention centers, education, government, hospitality, science and technology, tenant improvements, urban planning, and workplace design.
Matthew has built and led teams, developed and managed budgets, tracked project performance, and worked inside the realities of practice. What became clear over time is that strong design alone does not create a healthy firm, it's also about establishing good relationships and operating a great business.
StudioLedger was created to help architecture firms bring structure, visibility, and decision clarity to the business, so principals can lead effectively, scale deliberately, and protect their designs, their people and their business.
