What STUDIO JUNBI does

Studio Junbi is a New York-based digital motion studio founded in 2015 by co-founders Rodan Tekle and Kyunghee Jwa. The firm provides end-to-end creative services including creative ideation, creative direction, art direction, video editing, 2D/3D animation, visual development, consulting, and interactive visual design for enterprise clients in fashion, beauty, luxury, entertainment, and cultural sectors. Its work is positioned as experimental, driven by cinematic language and "new media" techniques, with a stated emphasis on culture-shaping visual storytelling.

The studio's underlying technology consists of 2D and 3D animation pipelines, digital video editing, and interactive visual design tooling — conventional motion-graphics and post-production craft rather than a proprietary software platform. There is no indication of a productized offering, API, SDK, or AI/ML system; the output is bespoke project work. Revenue is generated through project-based one-time fees, with pricing determined per engagement rather than via subscription or self-serve channels.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and reputation-driven: the studio acquires clients through direct engagement with brand marketing teams and creative directors, supported by a public portfolio (website, Instagram, Vimeo). Select clients include Calvin Klein, Nike, DKNY, Kenzo, Telfar, Opening Ceremony, American Eagle, MAC Cosmetics, Glossier, Krave Beauty, Shiseido, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., The Real Real, WNBA, PepsiCo, Nickelodeon, AMC, ViacomCBS, MoMA PS1, The Kitchen, Stedelijk Museum, Boiler Room, RBMA, and others. The studio is privately held by its two founders with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no public financial filings.
