A narrative design and creative technology studio building stories, systems and experiences across film, interactive media and immersive learning.
Visually Sonic was founded by Lisa and Steve McPartland to bring narrative, design and technology together within one independent creative studio.
Steve’s background spans film production, themed entertainment, CGI, digital design and interactive experiences.
His work has moved from cinematic storytelling and large scale narrative environments to conversational systems, immersive learning and connected digital platforms.
Lisa brings more than a decade of freelance marketing experience across travel and retail, supporting established international brands including MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises and Mamas & Papas.
Her experience in brand communication, customer journeys and commercial marketing brings a clear commercial perspective to the studio, helping shape work that connects with audiences and supports meaningful business goals.
Film, audio, interaction, intelligence and spatial thinking are not treated as separate outputs. They are combined around the audience and the outcome the project needs to create.
The technology serves the narrative, the audience and the purpose. It is never the starting point.
Film, audio, interaction, intelligence and spatial experience are considered as one connected system.
The work must help someone understand, decide, navigate, learn or act with greater confidence.
Visually Sonic is led by Lisa and Steve and supported by a network of specialist collaborators assembled around each brief.
