Watchkraft · independent studio
Every project I deliver works like a good lens. There's the glass that shapes what people see, and the mechanics that make it work. Both are made for the job.
Scroll to take it apart01 · The glass
The glass decides what people see and how it feels. Photography, film and motion, sound and print are the elements that bring your story into focus.
02 · The mechanics
Behind the glass is precise engineering: custom software, interactive installations and games, code and databases, and integrations with the systems you already use.
03 · Nothing off the shelf
No templates and no standard package forced into shape. Each element is designed around your organisation, your audience and the way you work.
04 · In tandem
Glass without mechanics can't focus, and mechanics without glass have nothing to show. I design and build both, so they fit together from the start. There are no hand-offs, nothing gets lost between suppliers, and you always talk to the person doing the work.
Selected work
Museums across the globe
For a series of museums I created the media side of their exhibitions: photographing collections, producing video and soundscapes, designing the printed exhibition graphics, and building the interactive installations that tie it all together.
Because all of it came from one maker, the photography matched the print, the video fit the screens it was made for, and the software was built around the story.
Manufacturing
From tender to production, I created the visualisation for the initial concept, 3D renders to final photography and video.
Wholesale & Distribution
Implementation and custom modules so the system follows the workflow, not the other way around.
Exhibition
A game with custom illustration, sound and a backend that tracks progress.
Approach
We start with your goal, not with a medium. What needs to happen, for whom, and why?
I propose a solution, a film, a system, an installation or a mix of all, with a clear scope.
I design, shoot, write and build it, with regular check-ins so there are no surprises.
After launch I am available for updates, fixes and the next step. You won't get passed along to a helpdesk.
About
I've spent my career on both sides of the screen, behind the camera and behind the code. The best results always came from projects where those two worlds weren't kept apart. So that's how I work.
When a project needs more hands, I bring in specialists I've worked with for years, for you there is only one point of contact.

That's where I come in. Tell me what you're working on and I'll tell you whether I can help.
