Founder — Duuk Balvers
As a creative director, world designer, and animator, I specialize in bringing cinematic storytelling to life inside Unreal Engine 5 and Fortnite Creative (UEFN).
Every environment I design aims to feel alive — immersive, emotional, and grounded in realism. Through Hawk Studios, I’ve led collaborations with global brands like Sony and Epic Games, and worked alongside industry leaders such as Ferins, currently the #1 creator in Fortnite. Our collective work has reached over 500 million views in 2025 alone, with 150+ clients worldwide trusting Hawk Studios to transform their visions into unforgettable in-game worlds. At the core of every project is one principle: it has to feel real.
From atmospheric lighting to animation, VFX, and sound — every detail builds toward authenticity and emotion. That’s how Hawk Studios approaches every creation: with precision, storytelling, and cinematic depth.

Zvelko
UEFN Developer & Designer
With over two years of experience in Unreal Editor for Fortnite, Zvelko brings a rare mix of animation, level design, and UI expertise to the HAWK Studios team. His strength lies in combining atmosphere, flow, and player immersion — creating worlds that feel alive even without heavy scripting.
Previously part of the Gelos Games team for six months, Zvelko contributed to multiple creative projects and later developed a personal map that earned an Epic Picks feature — a rare milestone achieved by less than 1% of creators. The project demanded over 600 hours across four months of focused development, with every animation, prop, and layout refined to perfection.
At HAWK Studios, Zvelko helps shape the visual identity of every experience — from cinematic environments to intuitive interfaces — turning concepts into immersive, playable realities.

Thom Balvers
Head of Marketing & Media
As Head of Marketing at HAWK Studios, Thom shapes how the brand looks, sounds, and connects with the world. He oversees everything from video production and social media to branding and the studio’s website — making sure every project communicates the same cinematic, high-quality feel that defines HAWK.
Beyond the studio, Thom runs one of the largest prehistoric education platforms on Instagram, reaching over a million followers worldwide. That experience gives him a sharp understanding of audience psychology, trends, and storytelling — skills he now channels into HAWK’s promotional strategy.
His work blends creativity with precision: crafting trailers, designing campaigns, and building narratives that make people stop scrolling and start paying attention.
