Concept site by Rida Dari. Velvet Arc Studio is a fictional business.

Studio

Small team. Loud work.

Three people, one shared obsession with how things move. We keep the team small so the people you meet are the people who make your work.

Ines Marlowe

Creative director

Ten years in broadcast design before starting the studio. Thinks in key frames and color scripts.

Theo Kade

Creative developer

Writes the shaders, the scroll timelines and the performance budget. Makes sure it runs smooth on a five-year-old phone.

Rae Solano

Motion designer

Character, type and 3D. If it bounces, glows or unfolds, Rae probably animated it.

What we believe

Motion should explain.Every animation has a job: guide the eye, show a feature, or tell you something changed.
Fast beats fancy.If an effect costs more than it gives, it goes. Our sites still pass Google's speed checks.
Respect the viewer.Anyone who turns on "reduce motion" on their device gets a calm, still version. No exceptions.
