convivial studio works at the intersection of art, design, and technology, merging the digital with the physical to create emotionally engaging experiences with an element of wonder. Co-founded in London by Creative Technologist Paul Ferragut and Designer Ann-Kristin Abel, both graduates of Central Saint Martins, the studio draws on backgrounds spanning creative coding, graphic design, fashion design, and trend research, a mix that shapes its research-led approach to consultancy, concept, art direction, and production. Grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration, convivial approaches each project with an inquisitive mind and a drive to surprise people and push boundaries, expressed across interactive installations, AR, VR, and mixed reality, physical computing, electronics, wearables, generative art, and generative data visualization.

The studio has delivered projects for major brands including Google, L'Oréal, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, and Ikea, alongside institutional work such as the Pacific Visions gallery at the Aquarium of the Pacific, an immersive, multi-sensory installation exploring coral reefs and marine science through touch, projection, and sound. Their work has also been featured in Wired, Fast Company, and Frame, among other publications.
