A place where creative work jumps off the screen, wins awards – and is a pleasure to do. For the past 20+ years, across pretty much every industry you can think of, that’s the sort of work I’ve sought to be part of.

Senior Art Director and Designer
Laurent Graudens

Doing pretty things with no meaning is not for me. My belief is first concept, then design. As a Conceptual Senior Art Director, I will always focus on generating the idea. Making sure it’s bold or emotional, that it’s telling a story, taking us where we want to be and always supported by the research and the strategy. Once we know that the idea is a solid foundation for a transformational experience for the brand or the organisation, we can then fully enjoy making it visually how it should be.

Motion Designer & Video Editor
Andy Turba

I'm on a lifelong quest of learning and discovery, which reflects in my personal life and my work as I dab into various faces of design to keep me on my toes. Originally a marketer turned creative, I find fulfillment both in getting my hands dirty with production (as if clicking on a computer is the same thing as painting on a canvas) as much as I do with team leading and mentoring.
