Black and white photo of Two white males sat side by side, they are the owners of Haste design animation studio in Antwerp. One has short brown hair and glasses, he is wearing a grey tshirt. The other has shoulder length brown hair and is wearing a leather jacket.

How big is the Haste team, and who will I work with?

Haste is a team of three humans and one dog.

  • Emma: project manager, native English speaker, extremely creative and the one making sure everything actually ships on time (also: studio mum, scheduler, wearer of many hats).

  • Pieter: 3D animator and financial wizard, especially present on 3D‑heavy and animation‑heavy projects.

  • Dieter (Didi): focuses more on graphical work, music, campaigns and branding‑driven projects.

  • Stevie: likes to wear a bandana, jump and bark at deliveries. 

Who you work with depends on the project, but at least one of the three will be fully responsible for your job from start to finish, and you’ll almost certainly meet Emma.


If you’re nearby or fancy a trip to Antwerp, you’re always welcome to visit our animation studio!


What is it like to collaborate with the Haste team?

We’re a small, nimble team, and we start by listening very carefully to what you actually need.


Then we take an iterative approach: we ask questions, push back where needed, and refine until we reach an idea we’re all genuinely excited about.


If you don't even know where to start, or know nothing about animation,  we’ll help you find the right questions to ask, then build from there. We also love working with people who have strong ideas and an open mind, and we’ll challenge you just enough to make sure the result really works for you.


What makes Haste different from other creative animation studios in Belgium?

We deliberately stay small so we can move fast, adopt new tools (yes, including AI) and experiment without needing to retrain 30 people every time. 


We combine wild, artistic thinking with hands-on execution. The people who come up with the ideas are the same people who make them real!


We also have a strong network of talented friends in Antwerp. When a project is bigger or needs a very specific skill, we bring in the right collaborators instead of doing everything in‑house. That keeps the work fresh, versatile and honest.


What are Haste’s guilty pleasures?

Ramen. Way too much ramen. A non‑trivial percentage of project budgets has historically been converted into noodles.


Mario Kart at lunch, usually with the other creatives we share our office with.


We love sharing our space with other creative minds, which means we’re constantly challenged to be the best version of ourselves, on screen and on Rainbow Road...
