Imagery, visual storytelling and design
that makes your business impossible to ignore.
Design at Sketch is a multidisciplinary visual and design studio built on real craft. We work across CGI, AI, animation, design, and visual storytelling—Automotive, Product Visualization, Architectural, and Brand Film.
What sets us apart isn't the tools we use. It's that we learned how to use them properly, grounded in traditional production—architectural and product visualisation, design and animation. Over time and countless clients projects we have evolved how we work to give the client the best results possible.
AI and cutting-edge CGI are powerful in capable hands. Rather than using generic solutions, we build custom CGI-AI hybrid workflows bespoke to your project—designed to improve what you're creating without losing the human touch. We bring rigorous expertise across visualisation, design, animation, photography, and CGI. That depth taught us judgment and craft, and keeps us honest. We blend emerging technology with hard-won experience because that's the only way it works.
We were founded to solve a specific problem: there aren't many places where rigorous production craft and genuine technical innovation sit in the same room, without compromise on either. Design at Sketch exists because they should.
Have a wild idea? We'll take it on. Bring us your idea—we'll make it real.
Oliver — Founder
Design at Sketch wasn't built from theory. Oliver's 16 years in CGI began as an architectural visualizer and CG generalist—roles reflecting genuine, hands-on experience across disciplines. His earlier training and a business in commercial interior design in the UK taught him how spaces worked, 2d drafting, building surveys, bespoke furniture design deepening the understanding he brings to every render.
That practical foundation extends further. After completing an apprenticeship at Asquith Autosport learning to build race and rally cars, Oliver never abandoned the passion for working with his hands. He still works regularly with CAD, welding, fabrication, 3d printing, engineering, and CNC— designing and building in the workshop remains like meditation for him, how he thinks through problems, building design prototypes and the odd fast crazy contraption.
Most studios rendering automotive work have never touched a spanner. When Oliver discovered his passion for CGI, he brought mechanical and structural literacy with him that changes how problems get solved. We work the same way—We bring engineering literacy together with architects, photographers, and CGI artists—where each discipline sharpens the others' approach.
The right workflow, for your project
We start by understanding your vision. What's the challenge? What does success look like? Budget? Timeline? Deliverables? Every project is different—this is where we understand yours, and determine the right approach.
Based on your brief and constraints, we design the exact pipeline. 3D? Motion? Hybrid CGI-AI? Every workflow is bespoke—built for your project's needs, not borrowed from a template.
We establish the visual language. Mood boards, style frames, creative direction. We explore options and lock in the approach that serves your brief. Direction comes first; tools follow.
Now we build. Advanced 3D, rendering, animation, motion design—we deploy the tools that deliver the quality your project needs. The workflow is chosen by the brief, not applied as a formula.
We iterate. Your feedback shapes every revision. We refine until the execution matches the vision. This is where mastery shows—attention to every frame, every detail, every moment.
You get what you need, in the formats your team needs. Whether it's high-res renders, animation files, or finished video—we deliver fully and document everything. Full support, questions answered.
The best tool is the one that serves your brief. We choose workflows based on project needs, not trends. Whether it's advanced 3D, cutting-edge rendering, motion design, or hybrid approaches—every choice is in service of your creative vision.
