Editorial Director
About R/GA's Studio
R/GA's Studio is a craft-led department working at the forefront of generative AI and moving images. We're a team of editors, motion designers, and AI artists who combine creative instinct with cutting-edge technology to create work that moves culture forward.
Storytelling comes first. Our approach is rooted in craft, taste, and narrative—we use technology to unlock new creative possibilities and produce at quality and scale that traditional pipelines can't sustain. We're on the hunt for people who consider themselves "AI Native," who stay on top of emerging platforms and models, and who see generative tools as creative partners rather than replacements for human artistry.
We work with the world's most ambitious brands, redefining what production looks like at the intersection of human creativity and emerging technology.
