Luxury sourcing, told through motion
An opening film, image-led scrolling and a dedicated mobile experience.
Urbanface came with an open brief and little supplied material. We developed the story and visual direction for its furniture and interior-sourcing service across China and Europe.

Creating and editing video for the website’s visual direction.

Bring us your idea. We’ll shape the next step together.
