Brighton motion studio Buff created a scalable motion system and 16 short product-feature films for UK app-based bank Starling following its 2025 rebrand. The work defines confident but human motion behaviours through concise typography, social-first formats and a repeatable four-beat story structure. Buff also delivered a motion guide that Starling's in-house team can use for future product storytelling.
Manychat’s in-house brand studio developed a refreshed identity for Instagram Summit, reimagining geometric shapes as social beings to express human interaction.

The publication combines AI-generated imagery with manual art direction, using a custom shader-based tool to create a warped, spherical visual language. The project reflects Manychat’s commitment to experimental yet user-focused digital experiences.
