This is us.
The core team.
We’re supported by plenty of other creative brains from Leicester’s thriving cultural quarter and beyond,
but we’re the people who’ll be leading your project. Let’s get to know each other a little better shall we?
“They realised what we wanted when no one else did – the creativity and perceptiveness at the studio was exceptional. Everything was at a high standard, from the animation itself to the dealings we had with Steff and Jack – both really warm at the same time as being very professional.”
Our story
We (Steff & Jack - now husband and wife) first met while working as animators at an online primary education company. Steff left to set up her own successful animation and illustration company and 4 years later eventually convinced Jack to join her (yay!) and Kino Bino was born.
In 2020, we were joined by the wonderful Bella, who added her experience of creating award-winning series of Pingu and Bob the Builder to the mix.
With our combined experience of educational and children’s animation, we realised we had a knack of creating character animations that could talk to anyone, about anything.
We’re now known for our inclusive, fun and simple design that’s easy to understand and enjoy.
We’re chuffed to be trusted by brands such as the BBC, NHS and TED-Ed and have both BAFTA and RTS nominations in our team's trophy cabinet.
That said, our proudest achievement is the thumbs up our work gets from our founders’ (very honest) two-year-old.
Because when she smiles, we smile, and we know you will too.
