Me Company
Björk's digital-age design studio
Me Company is the London design studio, founded by Paul White, that built the visual identity of Björk's most celebrated albums. Across Debut, Homogenic and Vespertine, the studio treated the cover as a place to render Björk as a shape-shifting, part-synthetic figure — helping define the look of electronic-age pop.
The studio were early adopters of digital and 3D imaging, using computer tools to warp, gloss and reconstruct their subject long before such techniques were common on record sleeves. The result is a run of covers that feel simultaneously intimate and otherworldly.

Signature style
Me Company's work is glossy, synthetic and emotionally strange — Björk rendered as a post-human icon through early digital manipulation and CGI. They pushed album art toward the screen age while keeping a handmade, expressive warmth.
