New York/Los Angeles/Sidney/Amsterdam/Vancouver/London · Creative direction, branding and motion design
The art of refusing the ordinary
If you’ve ever been mesmerized by a visual piece from Apple, Nike, Instagram, or Airbnb, or enjoyed their work for giants like Netflix, IBM, or PayPal, you already know the fingerprint of BUCK. This is no ordinary prestigious studio: their trophy case boasts over two hundred top-tier international awards, including Emmys, coveted Cannes Gold Lions, Clios, D&AD pencils, and ADC cubes. In a landscape saturated with repetitive formulas, BUCK has proven time and time again that technical excellence and conceptual boldness not only capture attention, but redefine contemporary visual culture.
Founded in 2004 in Los Angeles by Jeff Ellermeyer, Ryan Honey, and Orion Tait, BUCK began as a space designed to shelter the planet's most restless creators, thinkers, and makers. Over time, that foundational vision grew into an integrated global network with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Amsterdam, Vancouver, and London.
Far from operating like a traditional agency or locking themselves into a single recognizable aesthetic, their DNA is rooted in a clear conviction: the best ideas stem from ego-free collaborative work, bridging disciplines as diverse as branding, 2D and 3D animation, generative design, illustration, and interactive experiences.
That drive to experiment and innovate goes hand in hand with a profound responsibility regarding the impact they create. BUCK holds official B Corp certification, cementing their commitment to using creativity and business structure as a real force for the common good, while promoting sustainability and diversity within the industry. Currently part of the global Residence network, they continue to push the boundaries of visual storytelling to prove that when artisanal passion meets cutting-edge technology, design has the transformative power to change the way we understand the world.
