After a foray into clothing design and making music, he’s laser focused on growing his business.

In June, he learned he landed a job from FREEVIRAL to design a “collaboration product piece” for Chris Brown, one of the world’s best selling music artists,

Warner, who graduated from Central High School in 2024, found success using old-fashioned persistence fused with modern communication techniques. After creating his own clothing brand Arete, his love of research and reading led him to discover an unmet need in the clothing market — reaching out to clothing brands owners via social media and creating content and graphic images.

College wasn’t a path he considered after high school graduation. His mother, Aimee Warner, encouraged him to renew his interest in art and graphic design, a talent he’d had from an early age.

“I wasn’t the best academically,” Warner said about school. “Not because I didn’t care about my life but because I care so much about what I’m actually passionate about — mindset, art, music, business, and overall personal development/self-improvement.”

In less than a year, his creative services business — Adaius LLC — has grown to 500-plus clients.

“I work with people all over the world — musicians, ad agencies, clothing brands, influencers, agencies, athletes, even menopause gummy brands. Anyone who needs designs,” he said.

One of Warner’s clients is Reds Marketing, a multi-faceted agency that places client’s ads on social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook and assists more than 200 brands to increase their sales. Owner Jaiden Sanders said he and Warner started working together about six months ago.

“(Warner) is doing a lot of work for us,” Sanders said via phone from Buckhead, Ga. “His work ethic is impressive. But what surprises me the most is his creative direction and how he understands a brand’s identity and aesthetic and he matches it every single time. Clients are amazed by his work. He is really versatile and works with a lot of different brands.”

A client closer to home is Booker T. Washington Revitalization Corporation, an Altoona nonprofit focused on revitalizing parks, play structures and recreational spaces. Shasta Langenbacher, president of the organization, said they had seen Warner’s work with another client and extended an opportunity to him to create a website for the nonprofit organization.

“We like supporting local people,” Langenbacher said. “He’s a bright creative person.”

Warner’s interest in graphic design started at a young age with drawing and painting, said his mother. During high school, his passion for playing guitar took off with the success of his band The Pines, composed of Warner, vocalist Daman Mills, bassist/keyboardist Alex Snyder and drummer Ben Brumbaugh.

In a post on social media in late May, the group announced it has “paused” performances as each member pursues other goals. However, the post noted Warner and Brumbaugh will continue their musical journey with “a new sound, fresh faces and original energy.”

Music evoked a reaction from Warner even while he was in his mother’s womb, Aimee Warner said. She and his father, Kevin, would listen to music “all the time.” When it came time to name their son, she wanted something music-related and unique. She put her spin on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s middle name for Logan’s. Logan then chose Adaius LLC for his company’s name.

Warner pursues music as hard as he pursues clients. He takes weekly voice and piano lessons to improve his musical abilities. It’s a facet of his laser-like focus on personal self-improvement.

His day begins early with exercise and a cold shower.

“I’ve trained myself to embrace challenges and see them as opportunities. But some of the hardest things I face daily are waking up at 5 a.m.,” Warner said. “Though it’s very hard, it’s definitely a keystone habit that makes everything else throughout the day — like outreach, designing, working out, tracking my diet, practicing music — a lot easier. I believe when you make yourself very uncomfortable on purpose, it makes normally hard things much easier.”

He thinks that’s why clients are choosing him — “because I’m passionate about what I do and relentless in perfecting my work for them. I have very high standards, and people can tell I care about the work, not just the money.”

The Logan Warner of today isn’t the child his mother saw growing up.

“He was always the kid who hid behind me,” Aimee Warner said. “To see him come out of his shell has been incredible. From reaching out to businesses, networking and getting up on stage before hundreds of people — it blows me away. It’s incredible to see him evolve.”

Many of the clients of Adaius are fashion clothing brands and musicians but he’s also designed for plumbing businesses, photographers, menopause gummies, electrolyte packets, and others.

Warner has long loved fashion, his mother said, noting his wardrobe fills three closets in their Roaring Spring home. He has “a passion” for thrifting and going to flea markets to get the best value for his bucks spent on books and clothes. Yet, she said, he’s also generous with friends, often treating them to meals.

“He’s been a great friend,” Warner’s longtime friend Ian Crilly said. “He’s a very motivating person to be around. He’s a good role model.”

Crilly is learning graphic design under his friend’s tutelage and was the first hire for Adaius.

“The growth has been near exponential. It keeps growing more and more each month. I one hundred percent believe this growth is due to being disciplined, constantly learning and doing hard work,” Warner said. “When I first started, I’d take notes for hours on business, do hundreds of cold calls and emails a day — I basically did so much work that it would be unreasonable not to succeed within 6-12 months. That’s how I approach everything — I work to the point that it’s unreasonable not to achieve the goal.”

While Warner declined to discuss specific future goals, he said he’d like to “move into the informational field because I absolutely love self-improvement, philosophy and psychology. Whenever I’m not designing, practicing music, or working out, I’m reading or taking notes about how the brain, emotions and such things work.”

Warner credits his success with “knowing myself and constantly improving.” He wants to do everything he can to help people make the same type of progress in their lives as he has.

“That truly is my main goal in life — to inspire and help people to do the hard work and make the sacrifices needed so they can be happy and live their dreams.”
