Artful Being

Artful Being is a London-based design and motion studio founded in 2026 by Bill Elliott and Emma Burch, previously of Kong Studio. Combining creative expertise with strategic thinking, the studio develops stories and visual work designed to engage, educate, entertain and empower. Its approach places human connection, collaboration and lasting client relationships at the centre of each project, supported by careful production management, clear communication and close attention to detail.

Artful Being offers creative services including animation, illustration, branded content, casting and voice-over, music and sound design, scriptwriting and copywriting. Its work spans advertising and marketing, education, cultural projects, entertainment and social impact, with examples created for organisations such as the BBC, The Open University, Royal Mail, Shiseido and The Royal Mencap Society. Projects use a range of styles and formats, including hand-drawn animation, mixed media, motion graphics and stop motion.

From an early idea or brief through to the final frame, the studio provides strategic guidance and full-service production.
