New York–based studio co-founded by MILES BARRETTO and VIVIAN YANG, specializing in design and imagery through the lens of play for clients in culture and technology. We believe that play is a deeply-rooted, accessible way of learning heritage and identity. Inspired by our Filipino and Korean backgrounds, our hope is to bridge cultural barriers through new ways of play using digital and physical platforms. Whether delving into object creation, image crafting, or infusing a playful spirit into branding and brand strategy, we approach our work with the same sense of curiosity and creativity.
