We believe innovation

is found by

We          making things! Since the founding of our studio in 2016, we have worked on a myriad of animated projects which have pushed the boundaries of creativity and visual storytelling with cutting-edge technology, including world-renowned series such as City of Ghosts and Carmen Sandiego, as well as several of our own acclaimed independent projects such as Yuki 7 and Mall Stories. We have also harnessed our passions for art, science, and technology into a new learning platform called Draw & Discover which aims to teach kids about the world through drawing.​
