The Werk Howse is a boutique production services company specializing in film, television, and video games. They needed a digital presence as dynamic and polished as the award-winning projects they’ve contributed to, including Love On The Spectrum and Resident Evil: Village.

Known for their project management and motion capture expertise on AAA titles and prestige productions, they wanted a site that would speak to major industry clients with clarity, confidence, and creativity.

The Challenge

How do you design a unified digital identity that speaks fluently to both Hollywood and the gaming industry while balancing creative style and technical credibility?

With a foot in both entertainment and gaming, The Werk Howse needed a platform that could represent them equally well to television producers and game developers. Each audience brings different expectations around tone, visual style, and storytelling.

The challenge was to create a site that could reflect the high standards of both industries, appeal to their creative sensibilities, and support the studio’s growing body of work.

The Insight

Precision production deserves a platform that works as hard as the studio behind it.

We began by analyzing The Werk Howse’s portfolio to understand how their behind-the-scenes work supports large-scale productions. Then we studied the tone and personality of the brands they collaborate with, many of which feature bold characters and dynamic visual worlds. That research pointed us toward a playful yet bold design direction inspired by comic books, video games, and cinematic storytelling.

We also explored the origin of the company’s name and visual identity, which came from a drawing by the founders’ child. The words “the work house” were written in a child’s handwriting and became “The Werk Howse.” That personal history shaped the brand direction. We built a color palette based on their original logo and chose a font that captured the same energy.

The final site uses slanted edges, vibrant color blocks, and bold typography to create a modern, cinematic feel with a creative, approachable tone.
