Two Girls One Idea wasn’t something Miranda and I sat down one day and officially decided to build.
It happened gradually.
One idea turned into another. One project became several. We kept talking, adding things, changing things, imagining what something could become, and eventually it started to feel like all of those ideas needed a home of their own.
The name was there from the beginning
There’s also a little inside joke behind it. Sometimes Miranda and I joke that we’re basically Bluetooth connected. We can look at each other and already know what the other person is thinking, finish each other’s thoughts, or somehow end up imagining the same thing without explaining all of it first.
So the name just fit.
But even though we’re sisters, I think of us here mostly as creative partners.
We bring different things to the table. Sometimes Miranda has the story forming in her head and I’m asking a million questions about it. Sometimes I’m thinking about how an idea could look, how it could be presented, how people might experience it, or what else it could eventually become.
And sometimes we’re both just staring at each other because one random idea somehow became an entire world.
That happens a lot.
I want this to become much bigger
When I imagine Two Girls One Idea years from now, I don’t only imagine a website.
I imagine animated projects. Comics. Films. Games. Books. Merchandise. A creative team.
And, yes, I can even imagine us having an actual physical studio someday — a real building where people are writing, drawing, animating, designing, brainstorming, arguing over tiny creative decisions, laughing, and turning ideas into actual things.
I don’t know exactly what shape all of that will take yet.
That’s part of what makes it exciting.
I want this place to make other people want to create
One thing that matters a lot to me is that I don’t want someone to visit our website, look at our projects, and leave thinking, “I could never do something like that.”
I want the opposite.
I want somebody to leave wanting to open their notes app and write down the idea they’ve been ignoring. Draw the character they keep imagining. Start the comic. Build the fictional town. Write the first page. Make the weird little game. Create the world that only exists in their head right now.
We don’t either.
This whole studio is going to grow in public. You’ll probably see concepts change, artwork improve, stories evolve, pages get rewritten, things get scrapped, and ideas become completely different from where they started.
I actually want you to see that part.
I don’t want this website to feel like a glass display case
This is probably one of the biggest things I personally want for Two Girls One Idea.
I don’t want to build a website where we upload something, disappear, and everybody just quietly looks at it.
I want to be in it.
I want to hear what you think. I want to know which character you immediately got attached to. I want to hear theories. I want to see fan art someday and lose my mind over it.
I can absolutely picture myself reposting something someone made, answering comments, talking about people’s interpretations, sharing updates, and recognizing people who have been following a project since it was barely anything.
And I don’t want people to feel intimidated about reaching out to us.
Obviously there will always be some boundaries around private material and professional submissions, but as people? As creators?
I want us to feel approachable.
If something we make inspires you to create something of your own, tell us. If you’re building your own world, I want to hear about it.
If you’re another artist, writer, animator, developer, filmmaker, or person with a ridiculous number of ideas living in your head, you’re exactly the kind of person I hope finds this place.
And as Two Girls One Idea grows, I would love for us to find ways to encourage other creators too — whether that’s sharing their work, talking about creative process, exchanging advice, collaborating when something genuinely fits, or simply being the people saying:
For now, we’re just beginning
There are still things we’re figuring out. There are projects you haven’t seen yet. There are drawings that haven’t been drawn, pages that haven’t been written, and ideas that are currently nothing more than sentences in our phones.
But that’s kind of the point.
Two Girls One Idea isn’t only about showing you what we’ve finished.
It’s about letting you watch things become.
And someday, if this grows into everything I’m imagining — the shows, comics, films, games, creative team, studio building, and all the worlds in between — I think it’ll be really special to be able to come back here and see where it started.
With two creative partners.
A lot of conversations.
Way too many ideas.
And apparently a Bluetooth connection.
