Things Move
PRISM is an independent motion design and creative studio. We partner with ambitious brands to build identities that live and breathe — in motion, in print, in every digital surface they touch.
Founded in 2018, we've grown from a two-person operation into a focused team of twelve — designers, directors, strategists, and technologists who believe restraint is the most radical creative choice.

Ravi founded PRISM after a decade leading motion design at Publicis and Wieden+Kennedy. He believes the best creative work is almost invisible — you feel it before you understand it.

James approaches every project as a typographic problem first. Before a concept is visual, it must be verbal. His thinking shapes the language that shapes the look.

Elena bridges the gap between motion design and interactive experience. She leads all digital work and holds an unhealthy obsession with scroll physics.

Thomas starts every engagement by asking the question no one wants to answer: why does this brand deserve to exist? The answer to that question guides everything that follows.

How We Work
Authorship
We don't execute briefs. We collaborate on outcomes. Every project has a named creative lead who owns the vision end to end.
Brevity
The most powerful ideas survive extreme reduction. We cut until what remains is exactly what's needed and nothing else.
Craft
Speed is the enemy of quality. We build in the time required to make something right — not the time available before a deadline.
Dialogue
Our best work happens when clients trust us enough to push back. We earn that trust by always showing our reasoning.
Process
How We Get
There
Discovery
1–2 weeksWe immerse ourselves in your world. Competitive analysis, stakeholder interviews, audience research, brand audit. We ask uncomfortable questions because the truth is always useful.
Strategy
1 weekPositioning, creative direction, and a detailed brief. We align on what success looks like before a single frame is designed. This is where we earn the right to create.
Design
2–4 weeksOne direction, fully developed. Not three options that dilute the thinking — one clear, committed vision with the reasoning to defend it.
Refinement
1–2 weeksCollaborative iteration in focused rounds. We prototype, test, and sharpen. Every feedback session moves us closer to the version that's ready.
Delivery
1 weekProduction files, usage guidelines, motion specs, and a handoff session. Everything you need to deploy and maintain your new brand, independently.
Let's Build Something Unforgettable
We work with a select number of clients each year. Let's see if we're the right fit.
