Where precision meets spontaneity, that’s where you’ll find us. We celebrate the space between digital perfection and analog charm. Every fingerprint of human touch – from misaligned prints to hand-cut paper textures, to the warm embrace of film – adds depth to our story. These beautiful imperfections are our visual language.
We have a favorite medium for bringing designs to life. Think of it like screen-printing’s playful cousin, a Risograph is a digital duplicator that pushes ink through drum-made stencils, one color at a time. Each layer adds depth and unique color interactions. Slight shifts create happy accidents and unpredictable misregistration, creating a texture that digital can’t replicate.

Frame by frame, we reimagine still images. With animation, we can carry the warmth of traditional techniques, evoking the nostalgic quality of classic cartoons while embracing contemporary approaches. With depth and character, we want our projects to maintain that distinctive handcrafted quality.

The intersection of digital precision and physical process defines our paper cut approach. Each piece asks for time and patience, creating tactile dimensions that screens cannot replicate.

We begin with digital designs, then translate them into constructed physical layers, creating depth and shadow that merge both worlds into something new.
To design for and with music is a passion of ours. Music videos & visualizers are fun, explorative, and always unconventional. From concept to final mix, we want to create moments where you can see what you hear and hear what you see.

Every project deserves its own voice. From individual letterforms to complete typeface design, with custom typography we can create unique visual languages that exist nowhere else. Each character is crafted to reflect specific project needs, creating languages that carry their own distinct personality while communicating their message.

From analog to digital, studio to location, with photography we can capture moments across all formats. We like a hybrid approach, and finding the perfect medium for each project. Our expertise spans product, portrait, and experimental photography, including intimate 8mm film work.

Knowledge only gains value when shared. Our workshop and talks open dialogues about process and creativity, sometimes featuring guest artists who bring fresh perspectives to our studio space.

These sessions range from hands-on technical instruction to broader discussions about creative approaches. We want to create a space for learning and exploration, and form a community for the curious.
We are four creatives who cover a range of disciplines: design, photography, sound, and print. Whether you’re looking for a single specialty or a complete approach, we’re here for it. Reach out, or pop by our Berlin studio for a coffee.
