Art direction for stories that need a visual soul.
Turn scattered ideas into a focused visual language.
MattiBurns provides art direction and visual development for campaigns, films, branded content, and story-driven worlds. We shape the creative concept, visual language, styleframes, color, typography, composition, and production direction so teams can move from scattered references to one coherent system.
Creative Discovery
We gather the story, audience, references, constraints, and creative problem so the direction has a real target.
Concept Direction
We build concepts, moodboards, visual rules, references, style territories, and language for the world the project needs.
Visual Development
We create styleframes, design explorations, visual systems, and production-ready direction that guides the work.
Production Guidance
We help translate direction into actual assets, frames, animation language, web visuals, campaign art, or pitch materials.
Creative System
The final direction gives creative teams a clear map: what to make, how it should feel, and why it belongs together.
We offer a focused range of Creative Services Built Around Story.
We Write Your Stories
Our process begins by understanding your vision at its core. Through stakeholder interviews, story workshops, and style sessions, we align the narrative, brand identity, goals, and audience. This foundation guides every decision and sets the benchmark for success.
We Design Your Vision
With the story as our blueprint, we build your visual universe. From character design and rigging to environments, motion, and sound, every element is crafted to immerse audiences and turn abstract ideas into tangible, relatable experiences.
We Animate Your Brand
The culmination of our process is bringing your vision to life. Characters are rigged with purpose, scenes framed with precision, and sound synced to pace, creating an animatic that previews the magic ahead and builds connection and flow in the final animation.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about process, timing, scope, and working together.

No. Animation is a core specialty, but many projects also include illustration, character design, branding, UI/UX design, and Webflow development. That flexibility helps projects stay cohesive instead of being split across multiple vendors.
I work with creative agencies, authors, artists, ministries, non-profits, educators, medical teams, tech companies, sports organizations, and entertainment brands.
Some clients come with a clear brief. Others come with a rough idea and need help shaping it. Both are welcome.
I specialize in character-based animation and story-driven motion design, including:
• Explainer videos (medical, educational, product)
• Children’s stories and curriculum
• Brand and campaign animation
• Sports broadcast graphics and arena content
• Social and digital motion assets
If your animation needs clarity, personality, or warmth—it’s probably a good fit.
Timelines vary based on scope, but most projects fall into one of these ranges:
• Short motion pieces: 2–4 weeks
• Explainer or character animation: 4–8 weeks
• Brand + Webflow projects: 6–10 weeks
Timelines are always discussed upfront and aligned with your goals.
Absolutely. I’ve worked on animated curriculum, educational content, and children’s storytelling designed to be engaging, age-appropriate, and visually memorable.
I care deeply about clarity, tone, and respect for young audiences.
Yes. I regularly work with agencies and offer white-label support.
I partner with creative agencies and marketing teams to handle project overflow, specialized animation, motion design, branding, and UI/UX Design. I integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, follow brand guidelines, and can remain completely behind the scenes when needed.
