The studio
Nine people,one spark.
Vonkel means spark in Dutch. It is the moment a static idea starts to move.
Sanne and Joris started the studio in 2015 in a borrowed room above a bicycle shop, making music videos for friends. A designer who codes and a developer who draws, they kept meeting clients who had beautiful brands that simply did not move.
Today we are nine people in a converted warehouse by the river, working for cultural institutions, record labels, technology companies and the occasional festival that needs everything yesterday.
Systems, not snapshots
We would rather design the thing that makes a thousand images than a single perfect one. It scales better and it ages better.
Make it move early
Static mock-ups lie about motion. We show you moving sketches in the first week, even when they are rough.
A short line
You talk to the people making the work. No account layer, no handovers, and no surprises at the end.
The team
Who you will work with
Plus three more on the floor right now, and a studio dog called Pixel who has opinions about every colour palette.

The lab
Fridays are for experiments
Every Friday afternoon is reserved for work nobody asked for. Some of it ends up in client projects, and some of it ends up framed on our walls.
