02 Current work
Story-driven interactive learning, built on a real-time AI-native pipeline
Nurture is Julie and Scott's next-generation storytelling platform for kids aged four to seven, uniting animation, play and pedagogy. They serve as Co-Founders and Co-Chief Creative Officers.
The workflow is fully AI-native and built in Unity for real-time rendering and modular, personalised storytelling. It delivers cinematic-quality animation at broadcast scale with consistent on-model character performance, no model drift, and none of the loss of craft or emotional nuance that undermines most AI-generated content.
Nurture is built by animation-industry veterans rather than technologists retrofitting AI onto animation. Every workflow is engineered to protect story, character and brand integrity first: it renders in real time, scales output without sacrificing craft, and keeps a hands-on creative team in the director's chair — applying the same narrative systems thinking, child-development expertise and showrunning discipline that built Kate & Mim-Mim, Abby's Flying Fairy School and LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter.
The same pipeline extends to third-party IP, bringing beloved licensed characters into next-generation interactive formats.
