Who we are and what we do

Pixelflakes is a London based studio comprised of artists. Our carefully selected team specialises in visualising the unbuilt. The approach we take evokes thought and conveys emotion. It is this approach that has cemented on-going working relationships with many of our clients. Whilst we all descend from different backgrounds and nationalities we share a common passion and language for quality artistic visualisation.

Matthew Perry Reid

Matthew is our Visualisation Director and Founding Partner at Pixelflakes. He holds a degree in Architectural Visualisation (BA Hons) from Bournemouth University and has worked at renowned visualisation studios across London.

Guglielmo (AKA Gui, Guli or Gigi) hails from Turin where he studied Building Engineering. Guglielmo’s passion for CGI first started whilst working in a fashion studio where he designed concepts for fashion shows.

Pixel

Pixel ensures all of our imagery goes through rigorous quality control before being sent to clients. She's our toughest critic!

In her spare time Pixel will do anything to avoid going outside. Her favourite thing to do is sleep, closely followed by stealing the teams lunch when no one is looking.

Fleur

Fleur makes sure everyone, whether they're part of the team, a client or even a delivery driver, gets a warm welcome. She also heads up our anti-stress department, where her main role is to sit on your lap when Max crashes.

Fleur absolutely loves the outdoors, there isn't a puddle she won't try and run through. She's a wild girl at heart, despite her white coat!
