About Digital Kitchen
Digital Kitchen is a creative experience design studio and production company working across entertainment, branding and physical environments. Founded in Seattle in 1995, it combines storytelling, visual design, filmmaking and creative technology to develop title sequences, moving brand identities and immersive experiences. Its work spans television and streaming, gaming, hospitality, retail, architecture, technology and sports.
Titles and moving identities
Main title design is a central part of the studio’s history. Digital Kitchen created sequences for Six Feet Under and Dexter, both recognized with Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Main Title Design. Its entertainment portfolio also includes True Blood, Narcos, Nip/Tuck, Yellowjackets and Godfather of Harlem. More recent projects identified in the research include Manhunt, Before, Smoke, Cross, Death and Other Details and Spider-Noir.
The studio’s production capabilities encompass creative direction, concept development, brand strategy, live-action filmmaking, CGI, 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics and visual effects. These disciplines support both entertainment storytelling and commercial films, branded content and motion identity systems.
Experiences in physical spaces
Digital Kitchen also develops media for architectural displays, interactive installations and experiential environments. Its projects include the immersive lobby columns and video canvas at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, visual installations for the Canada Goose Concept Store, the “Glow” digital art experience at Resorts World Las Vegas and experience design for The WB Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Work for Amazon at Climate Pledge Arena extends this practice into environmental media, while Harry Potter: Visions of Magic brings it to an interactive touring exhibition.
Acquired by kyu in 2015 and integrated into the Sid Lee creative community in 2019, Digital Kitchen continues to operate as a distinct studio within that wider creative network. Its primary production operations are based in the Los Angeles area, with a continuing corporate mailing presence in its founding city of Seattle.
