Studio ANRK: An XR & AI Studio

Hi, I'm Anrick

I'm an award-winning director and the founder of Studio ANRK, a creative practice working at the edge of new technology. Over 20 years I've directed work across AR, VR, AI, live action, animation, and immersive installations for some of the world's most ambitious organisations and brands. What drives all of it: translating complex, often invisible ideas into moments that genuinely move people.

I've directed work spanning an unusually wide range: documentary VR, luxury brand experiences, real-time AR installations, AI-accelerated production pipelines, games, broadcast commercials. The technology changes; the question doesn't. At every project, what I keep coming back to is whether the work makes people genuinely feel something. As the tools get faster, I think that question gets more important.

Some of that work sits at unusual intersections: an interactive anime called Attraction made with Koji Morimoto; Airmeter which lets you see the pollution in the air around you in realtime; a VR documentary called Camp Century bringing a lost Cold War army base back to life; an exhibition at UNESCO in Paris called Three Walls documenting the destruction of Mosul under ISIS; and an Instagram AR project called Revival that digitally restored ancient Egyptian artefacts inside Cairo's National Museum. Alongside those: collaborations with organisations such as Marvel, Sony, Google, and Disney; AR work for the Snap Originals series Breakwater; live action commercials for Toyota, Lexus, and Seat; luxury brand experiences for Ralph Lauren and Bvlgari; an AR pool coaching app for Snap Spectacles called Pool Assist; a game called Crime Scene for The Guardian; and VR/MR games like Tonae and Storm.

Alongside the studio, I'm currently building OHI Studio (a small team making original IP for spatial and wearable platforms: Meta Quest, Snap Spectacles, Meta Ray-Bans, and Apple Vision Pro). It's the part of the work where we get to define the brief entirely: playful, spatial, designed for devices that are just starting to matter.

A vehicle for the work I care most about

Studio ANRK is built around a simple belief: that emerging technology is only as powerful as the human story it carries. We partner with brands directly and through agencies, embedding quickly into existing teams and working across the full creative and technical stack. For each project we assemble a unique team from a deep network of collaborators at the intersection of craft and code, moving at the pace of innovation without losing the care that makes the work land.

AI tools at the foundation

We work at a level that used to require a much larger operation. AI isn't a feature of how we work; it's structural. It runs through our ideation, our production, our workflows, letting a focused team operate with the range and depth of a much bigger one. We combine AI-integrated processes with traditional craft across every discipline, accelerating without losing the human decisions at the centre of everything. We move faster, experiment more freely, and deliver at a level that doesn't depend on scale.

Our work

So often the interesting work started as a sidequest. An experiment, or a detour from a brief. Something without an obvious endpoint. These are the projects that stick.
