Artists, writers, animators and engineers. We make characters people want to talk to, then build the systems that let them do real work.
We are Avatars GlobalA character studio and a software team in the same building.
We design original characters to the standard you'd expect from film and games: a face, a voice, a way of behaving that belongs to your brand and nobody else's.
Then we build them into the systems your business already runs on, so they can answer customers, handle intake, train staff and carry the volume nobody enjoys. From the first sketch to the thousandth conversation.
Twenty-five years of character work between us, across film, games and television. These are some of the places our team has done it.
Artists, animators, writers and engineers. Between them they've shipped characters, campaigns and production software.
