We are a small, London-based studio of talented specialists and experts living in moving image, music and design.

As a skilled designer and composer, studio founder Matt Rudd brings inspiring design, creative direction, musicianship and strategic thinking to projects.

Matt is supported by the studio team comprising Oscar Gonzalez (animator, musician, composer), Sylvie Minois (photographer, illustrator, designer, animator), Darren Agnew (designer, animator) and Steve Jones (web developer, musician, composer).

A wider circle of leading practitioners in design for print, typography, brand strategy, identity and strategic workshop facilitation adds to the mix.

Inspired by art and music, we are also bound together by our belief in the creative power of integrating the disciplines of moving image, music and design.

We have learned that by developing the visual and the musical in tandem and by working closely with our clients, we are able to create surprising and beautiful design solutions through a subtle alchemy of ideas, function and form.

This quite artistic process allows us to develop big ideas that are then realised and crafted in exquisite detail.

And whilst we work like artists to create impact, we do not follow our own individual artistic agendas. Instead, we listen to our clients’ and their customers’ agendas and create relevant and enduring solutions that evoke an instinctive response inspiring recognition and loyalty in consumers.

We are at our best when we work with inspiring clients - that is, clients who understand that it takes time, on-going creative dialogue and intense collaborative working in order to achieve groundbreaking ideas delivered with world class quality.

Often, new beginnings become long-term relationships and we find that the journey gets increasingly interesting over time. Long-term relationships bring in-depth knowledge of our clients and their brands, as well as their hopes and aspirations for them. This inspires us to ensure that our work remains relevant and keenly aligned to their values, yet able to flex and grow along with sometimes rapidly changing market needs and conditions.

Every project has its own complexion, and requires new thinking. We look for inspiration in unexpected places and avoid trend-following. And all the while, our circle of experts keeps our eyes fresh and alive continually searching for innovation and new ways of seeing, thereby avoiding complacency and tiredness.

• ‘I loved working with Rudd Studio every step of the way. Their output is of a very high quality and their approach to identity design means that there is always a story behind the colours or the shapes they choose. They also listen to and respect the client’s feedback. I would be very happy to repeat the experience.’

• ‘Rudd Studio are a highly creative studio with a meticulous and thoughtful attitude to visual design and how it produces a great viewer experience. More than this, Rudd are polymaths who are able to translate visual design into narrative and sound design which enhances the user experience. I’d love the chance to work with them again.’
