A small design studio located in the Metro Vancouver area.
We offer up three main specialties:

• Creating dynamic and engaging motion graphics and corporate videos
• Designing highly creative materials for print, web and interactive media
• Generating high-quality, cost-effective designs for all of your art outsourcing needs.

(Oh yeah, we also mix up highly volatile compounds in our spare time. You might want to stand back).

With over 15 years of experience in the design, entertainment animation and gaming fields, we deliver impactful, creative projects that will keep you coming back for more.

Check out what we've got cooking in the lab, and feel free to drop us a line. Also, check out our sister company, Michael Douglas Photography, for all your photography needs.
