Introduction

We are Kinette

We integrate directly with your team to operate at the speed of a startup

A boutique animation and narrative design studio built on a foundation of elite industry experience. We bridge the gap between major studio precision and independent creative spirit.
As the barrier to content creation drops, the volume of generic, uninspired media has exploded. We believe that in an automated world, taste is the only true differentiator. Our team of industry tastemakers ensures your brand stands out rather than blending in.
Having "good taste" usually means moving slowly, but the digital landscape doesn't wait for traditional production cycles. We have engineered a high-speed pipeline that delivers elite, human-led creative at the frenetic pace of modern social feeds.

In an era of automated mediocrity, your most valuable asset is great storytelling.

We combine top studio artistry with the agility of a startup to ensure your brand remains unmistakable in a crowded world.

Founder & CEO

Say goodbye to old school, dinosaur agencies.

We believe the traditional agency model is broken. To better serve the fast-moving needs of modern brands and creators, weve rebuilt our partnership structure from the ground up.
In addition to Project-Based Pricing, we offer a straightforward subscription service.

By replacing unpredictable costs and complex, opaque retainers with a fixed monthly model, we provide our partners with elite-level animation and design on tap. Its high-end studio output with the agility of a digital native team.

Fixed Costs, Zero Friction

We’ve eliminated the "black box" of creative billing.

On-Demand Scalability

Traditional agencies are slow to pivot; we are built for velocity.

Performance-Driven Partnership

We trade the traditional "vendor" relationship for a collaborative partnership

The Team

Creative Minds

Our Collective DNA
We aren't just a production house; we are a collective of specialists. Our team draws from a pedigree that includes Nickelodeon, Warner Bros, DreamWorks, and Marvel. Weve spent years refining the visual languages of the world's most beloved IPs, and now were applying that expertise to a new era of digital storytelling.

We skip the long lead times and bureaucratic kickoff phases. Whether you are using our project-based model or our subscription service, we integrate directly into your existing Slack, Discord, or project management tools to begin immediate creative alignment.

We treat the "curtain" as a distraction. Our clients have real-time visibility into our boards, designs, and animation dailies, allowing for a collaborative feedback loop that ensures the final product is exactly what was envisioned with zero "big reveal" anxiety.
03/
We adapt to your release schedule, not the other way around. Our modular workflow is designed to output high-fidelity assets in batches, providing you with a constant stream of content for social feeds while we simultaneously polish long-form narratives.
From Concept to Cultural Moment
We’ve refined a pipeline that treats every frame as an opportunity for storytelling. By combining world-class design with a rapid, modular production flow, we turn original ideas into globally recognized digital experiences.
