About Us
Bio
Us is a multi-disciplinary award winning design & direction studio, whose work covers directing music videos/commercials, brand identity, printed literature, advertising, installations & web design/build.
Us consist of Christopher Barrett and Luke Taylor they met whilst studying at Kingston University on the BA Graphic Design course. Their first successful collaboration came whilst at university when they directed a music video for Thom Yorke as a part of the D&AD awards which went on to win first place. In late 2007 fresh out of university they formed Us.
2011 saw them receive the award for Best New Directors at the UK MVA's and Best Urban video for Numbers In Action.
