We create experiences. We build interactive media for the web and mobile devices, specialising in custom: concept and design, 3D modelling and animation, software development, and Augmented Reality.

Who are we?

Hungry Sky is a business partnership between two creative and technical practitioners: Nick Lowe and Minh Tran.

Operating since July 2011, we draw upon a combined 16 years of experience in software and content development (and a network of select partners) to deliver on small to large creative projects for a range of clients in Western Australia.

We enjoy finding creative solutions to problems, and helping clients overcome technical hurdles.

Our philosophy

When evaluating potential projects, we ask ourselves:

  • Does the work align with our interests?
  • Can we complete the project on schedule?
  • Can we produce an output quality that meets our high standards?

Only when we are confident in the above will we consider taking on a project.

Working with us

After an initial meeting to discuss your project and how we can help, we usually produce a detailed written work summary and estimate for your consideration.

If the estimate is accepted, we get to work following the schedule and budget included with the estimate. If we are unavailable to take on a project, we can often recommend or organise for somebody who can.

Here is a selection of interesting projects that we have worked on since July 2011.
