Flawed Designs strives to bridge the gaps between disparate media, and find new ways to communicate the human experience.
We work in various genres and mediums with a core of finding real human emotions in surreal situations. We have focused on showing the audience themselves within our art and giving them respite from their troubles, if only for a short time. In the future we hope to surpass this goal and inspire them to overcome their adversities, the difference between giving a person a fish and teaching them how to fish.
As an Independent Film and Video Game Studio, it's important to know what you're about.
When we make something,
it's not a
"So and So Production."
It's a Product of Flawed Designs
