Left gathers designers of various kinds under one roof. 

The handpicked team (currently six permanent heads) combines both, experience and passion for graphic design and artdirection with a broad skillset in 3D, animation and coding to ensure that the visual output meets both aesthetic and functional requirements. We call this Visual Engineering.

Our output is quite diverse. We do not represent one typical style — it’s always about that one style that matches best with the clients specifications and needs.

For motiondesign, animations and CGI our production stack includes Cinema 4D with Redshift render engine, Unreal Engine, Adobe After Effects, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. Also for some applications we write our own tools, like AE-Plugins, Processing or Javascript. We produce and/or edit the sound layers with Logic Pro and Ableton. We deliver all sorts of visual or design-driven digital media assets, no matter static, animated or interactive.

Yes, Websites as well as digital systems and interfaces are one of lefts core services. Our professional hearts belong not only to design, but to make visual assets move and interactive. And websites combine all of this – how magnificent :)

For websites and custom web assets, we build our solutions from the ground up using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a wide range of carefully selected libraries. This approach allows us to create all kinds of websites, most of them powered by React and/or our CMS of choice: the beautiful Craft CMS.

We team up as a sparring partner, bringing our expertise to every stage of a project. From system and data architecture, design and UX, information and data management, hosting, and technical integrations.

And then, usually we don’t just deliver self-curatable integrated website systems, we operate them. And we see our ongoing role in advising and representing our clients to coordinate, manage and implement technical Integrations, Uptime, Seo, Content.

We use a variety of AI workflows that we have established and continuously refine to generate parts of the products we create. This can include code, parts of visual assets, agents and small helpers to organise and process data. Our goal is to increase efficiency while maintaining our role as the people who direct, manage, and qualitycontrol the work we deliver.

We are working mostly on-site at the beautiful Nestroyhof in Viennas 2nd district. We share the office with our good friends HammerAlbrecht.

Tobi: This is a longer one. First of all I identify myself as a designer. It was constant curiousity about how things work that forced me to take a deeper look behind the technical curtain. I learned 3D and animation. And once I discovered that I could harness conditions and algorithms to drive all visual disciplines I started to enhance and refine my coding skills.

Throughout my professional career as a designer and Art Director I frequently observed a significant gap in understanding between designers and tech experts that are hired to make things work and/or move. I have learned that people are happy with me taking design tasks related to this gap. So I founded left and started building a dedicated team to work even more specifically and efficient.

We love creating and refining visual und interactive ideas together with our clients and take responsibility for the design process all the way through to the final rollout.

We can help every brand or institution who needs any visualization (still, motion, 3D or interactive). Most expertise we got from previous work is with clients from the industrial or cultural sector — either directly or in collaboration with agencies and design firms.

We calculate and apply uniform hourly rates, which are regularly adjusted due to inflation (please contact us for the current standard rate). While we maintain consistent rates, we understand that each client is unique, and we are always open to discussing potential discounts. Additionally, we welcome inquiries for projects related to charity, environmental care, and democratic literacy.
