Radiance

What it is

Radiance is an AI-powered design agency led by CEO Jacqueline Schmidt, operating as a business unit of Infinity Constellation, the AI-native company builder that announced a $24M Series A in June 2026. Radiance positions itself as "agency plus": human creatives handle strategic vision and taste, while The Source®, its proprietary Creative OS, stores brand assets, messaging, and decisions in one place, templatizes work so clients can operate inside guardrails without depending on the agency for every asset, and turns a six-hour proposal into a seconds-long output. Clients include Coca-Cola, MoMA, CBS, NBC, Guess, Crate & Barrel, Barnes & Noble, Anthropologie, West Elm, and Siggi's. Schmidt built the FTE side-by-side model, comparing a traditional agency headcount cost structure against an automated platform stack, that she credits as pivotal in raising the round.

Who it's for

Brands and companies that have accumulated design and marketing work across multiple freelancers or vendors with no system holding it together, and founders who want an agency relationship structured around a reusable, institutional Creative OS rather than one-off deliverables.

Why it's better

• •The Source® solves the brand memory problem: no more re-buying knowledge that already left the building with a departing freelancer.
• •Structured as agency plus an intelligence layer, so the product is a repeatable system rather than a single deliverable.
• •MCP integrations connect into the tools a client already runs instead of forcing a rip-and-replace of legacy software.
• •Guardrails on pricing and scope are built into the system, so fast automated output is safe to send without a human re-checking every asset.
• •Backed by Infinity Constellation's $24M Series A, giving the agency's roadmap institutional runway most boutique shops don't have.
