Hello!

Hello!

Poison Ivy is a motion studio made for ambitious ideas, bigger canvases and projects that give us something to get properly excited about. Turning ideas into motion. Frame by frame.

Something worth building

Poison Ivy grew from years of working independently, with an ambition to create something bigger without losing the fun bits. It came from wanting more room to think, collaborate and play a bigger part in shaping the work. Poison Ivy was built to be part of the whole journey, from the first pitch to the final frame.

us unique?

The important stuff: Strava kudos are always returned, tomato sauce lives in the cupboard, dogs are welcome in meetings and our founder has previous experience in chicken ownership.


Oh, you meant the serious stuff…

IDEAS BEFORE KEYFRAMES.

We get involved early, helping shape the idea rather than simply animating it at the end.

WHY PICK A LANE?

2D, 3D, live action, stop motion or all of it at once. The idea decides.

FEMALE-FOUNDED. PROUDLY.

Being female-founded brings a different perspective to the table, and we know first-hand the value of making room for others too.

Poison Ivy at it's core

TRUST

TRUST

It works both ways.

Clients trust us with their ideas. We trust the people we bring in to make them a reality. Clear conversations, no micromanaging and always doing what we say we’ll do.

RESILIANCE

RESILIANCE

Sh*t happens.

Ideas change. Timelines move. Renders fail. What matters is how we handle it: solve the problem, learn from it and keep going.

FAIRNESS

FAIRNESS

Treat people properly.

Fair rates, proper credit and respect for everyone’s time. Good work should work for the people making it too.

BEHIND THE FRAMES

Hi, I’m Ashleigh 👋 Founder and Creative Director of Poison Ivy. The dogs insisted on being included.

Before starting Poison Ivy, I spent years working as a freelance Motion Designer. I wanted to be part of more than the final motion. Shaping ideas, building teams and staying close to the work throughout.

More than anything, I wanted to build a great studio. One that treats people properly, pays freelancers on time, and shows other women in design that starting their own is possible too.

Beyond the work, I’ve taught Motion Design, spoken at events around the world, been on a fair few podcasts and co-led Ladies, Wine & Design Glasgow. I’m always up for a chat about talks, guest lectures, workshops and podcasts. And if you’re finding your feet in motion, you’re welcome to say hello too.
