We’re a team of writers, game designers and entrepeneurs working to push the boundaries of what’s possible with generative AI.
Who we are.
Our Mission
Is to pioneer the integration of generative agents into the realm of interactive storytelling and game design, utilizing their vast potential to explore new realms of creative possibility and narrative sophistication.
Our Manifesto
The discussion surrounding the disruption posed by generative AI touches on the core of artistic identity and the value of human expression.
Artistic greatness may no longer reside in the ability to create new styles that can be easily codified and reproduced, but rather in the capacity to continually innovate beyond the mechanical capabilities of AI.
History shows us that art evolves with our tools; it doesn't end, it transforms. From the earliest tools to the latest digital canvases, new technology is a catalyst for new forms of expression and inspiration.
We believe we are entering a new era of creativity based on dialogue between human and machine, where AI does not diminish the art of storytelling but rather expands its horizons.
The most profound art reflects an inner truth, a resonance that one can point to and recognise as a genuine expression of the self. Humans alone possess the internal life and unconscious depths from which this springs.
It is from the fusion of the intuitive power of human emotion with the capabilities of AI that the next wave of artistic innovation will surge.
Our productions will embrace this evolution, providing direct commentary on our evolving relationship with technology and our place in an uncertain world.
Our Founders
As CEO, I’m fusing my background in tech and innovation with a lifelong interest in narrative fiction. Following these interests, I realised that generative agents weren’t just the future - with the right use case and application, they’re already here. That’s why we founded Big Wave Studios to push forward the boundaries of what’s possible with generative AI.

Lana Estemirova
Creative Director
I’ve been telling stories my entire life - from the fairytales of my childhood to my work in journalism and human rights activism, I understand the power of narrative to capture the imagination. Having just finished my first book, I’m looking forward to exploring new realms of creativity in my role here as Creative Director of Big Wave Studios.
