Meet the IOU team

IOU is made up of a creative team with a core group of six members. We work closely with a whole host of other creatives, commissioned artists, makers and producers to create what people know and love, as IOU.

We pride ourselves on being hard to define, difficult to categorise, and full of intrigue, curiosity, and creative energy.
