Bio & background

ManvsMachine is a London and Los Angeles-based creative studio specializing in design, motion graphics, film, and visual arts. Founded in 2007, the studio has amassed over 64 industry accolades including D&AD Pencils and AICP shortlists. Their work is characterized by bold aesthetics, intricate detail, and sophisticated command of Cinema4D, Houdini, Redshift, and Octane rendering. Since 2015, ManvsMachine has directed annual Nike Air Max Day campaigns (including Air Max Day '18 with its distinctly 90s throwback aesthetic), alongside work for Apple, Squarespace (Brrch, Altrock, 'Make It'), and Robinhood's 2025 Future Trading brand relaunch. The studio's ITV ident system won a D&AD Pencil in 2024. Their Squarespace 'Make It' campaign was shortlisted at the 2024 AICP Awards in Editorial and Visual Effects categories. ManvsMachine has expanded from core motion graphics into character design and animation (EyeBuy Direct's EyeBuyGuy campaign) and hybrid live-action/CGI storytelling (Honda's speed-reading-inspired 'Keep Up' for Wieden+Kennedy London, City Index's gravity-defying market metaphors). Additional clients include Renault (Scenic E-Tech, R5), Toyota, Purple, Logitech, Ancestry, and OFFF Barcelona 2024. The studio operates dual facilities in London's Highbury district and Los Angeles, with representation by Friend (UK), Barrie Isaacson Management (US East), and self-representation (US West).
