About the studio

Fun and Awe is the lens through which we see the potential of the emerging digital worlds. Seeking feelings of excitement and wonder, we create stories, environments and virtual objects that are both captivating and meaningful. Excited about the presence-based forms of interaction brought by XR, we work with a design language that is focused on spatiality and its unique capabilities.

A studio with a diverse experience that includes artists, engineers, writers, and designers, we build applications, design interactions, and develop concepts for XR that are focused on humans and our shared experience. Our boutique-sized team, founded by designer and director Maxim Zhestkov, explores the possibilities of the XR medium independently and in a collaboration with brands.

We work with realistic materials, object design, and architecture and are rooted in our physical world. Our projects invite to open new doors for
creativity, learning, collaboration, mindfulness, and fun in digital worlds through interactivity and play.
