Igor + Valentine is a creative split personality that directing duo Matt Smithson and David Stanfield embrace. With roots in fine art and motion design, their work blends painterly warmth with design-forward precision, crafted to feel human and honest.
Their films are authenticity forward and never overworked, combining handcrafted with graphic-richness in perfect harmony for brands like Openbank, Patagonia, Uber, IBM, Google, and Airbnb.
If they were characters in a murder mystery, Matt would be Captain Redbeard in the Library with a book of maps, while David would be Mister Dadbod hiding in the Bathroom with a bowl of ice cream. Which is to say, they’re homegrown, a little eccentric, and always plotting something brilliant.
