PLAYRS CLUB // WORLD-BUILDING STUDIO // EST. 2021

Interactive worlds
for brands.

I build the whole world a brand lives in: the look, the story, the sound, and the place your audience actually walks into. Then we sell pieces of it back to them. Tastefully.

CLUBS ERA is the first one. Designed, scored and built in-house, live on this site right now. No face, no trends, no dance challenges. The work signs itself.

THE STRATEGY

THE FRAGMENT SYSTEM

INTERACTIVE

Nobody gets the whole world on day one. They get a fragment: a file with an ID, an integrity score and no explanation. Then another one. By the time they find the door, they're already invested. Recover the four fragments to see how it works.

TAP A FRAGMENT

INTEGRITY004%

Unstable. We're working on it.

FIELD EXAMPLE

FILE 2564-7A05

A released fragment. Posted with nothing but its file name. Integrity 068%: partial, on purpose. The rest of the file lives inside the world, and people go looking for it.

Applied to your brand, the world, the fragments and the objects are yours. The system is the part I bring.

FOR ARTISTS

VISUALS FOR YOUR RELEASE

BOOKING NOW

A cover is a still. Your song moves. I make the visuals that go out with a release: loops for Spotify, visualizers for YouTube and Instagram, and the cover art that ties them together. Same hands as everything else on this page.

HOW I WORK

BRIEF TO FINISHED WORLD

  1. Listen

    Your brief, your audience, and what the brand actually means when nobody's watching.

  2. Write the world

    Rules, places and characters first. Visuals wait their turn.

  3. Identity + sound

    A look and a sound built from those rules, so everything rhymes.

  4. Build the place

    The site, the space, and the objects people can own.

  5. Release in fragments

    Never all at once. Your audience does the assembling.

NEXT STEP

REQUEST A WORLD.

Tell me about your brand and what people should feel when they step inside. We'll start with a discovery call and find the first fragment worth building. Small first project welcome; the world can grow from there.
